With years of experience across schools, community colleges, and universities, my primary goal has always been to offer the best-in-class material to my colleagues and students.

Welcome to the John Macionis website, which encourages us to see the path to change. Perhaps you are a college or university teacher, perhaps you are a student, but almost certainly you are a person concerned about the state of our world.

Some Tunes: A Gift to You

One of my favorite pastimes is music, playing as well as listening. Some years back, I spent time in a local recording studio performing oldies tunes that have stayed with me over the years.

I hope you enjoy listening to these songs.
