Interviews

Being born and growing up in Germany, Stehr spent a lot of his younger days around German culture. While working on his Ph. D. in Germany he was invited over to University of Oregon to teach and finish up his Ph. D. in 1969. Because of a bad horse riding accident he didn’t get much done the first year and was asked to stay on a second year. After that it was hard for him to leave the United States. He moved north to Oregon State University in 1975 and has been affiliated with the college of liberal arts since.
