After working as a dorm director at Boston University and an organizer for the Public Interest research group in Michigan (PIRGIM),[6] Dolgon obtained his PHD at the University of Michigan in 1987.

Dolgon completed his PhD in American culture in 1994, entitled Innovators and Gravediggers: capital restructuring and class formation in Ann Arbor, Michigan, 1945-1994.[9] Additionally, he has published numerous articles in scholarly journals, such as Junk Freedom, published in Critical Sociology, and Dim Mirrors, Dark Glasses: But This is Not Our Fate, published in Humanity & Society.
Dolgon worked with the Friends World Program of Long Island University from 1994 until 1997.[10] After that, Dolgon began working as a sociology professor at Worcester State College [WSC], where he served as departmental chair from 1999 until 2009.[11] Dolgon also served as editor of Humanity & Society: The Journal of the Association for Humanist Sociology Humanity & Society from 2000 to 2006, and was president of the organization in 2008.[12]

As a scholar, Dolgon has published five books, textbooks and anthologies. His first monograph, The End of the Hamptons: Scenes from the Class Struggle in America’s Paradise, won two book awards including The Association for Humanist Sociology's 2005 Book of the Year Award[14] and the American Sociology Association's Marxist Section Book of the Year in 2007.[15]
