Personal:
"I am deeply interested in how people participate in creating and changing the society we live in, that is what led me to study and teach sociology.
--What I find intriguing is we do not all have the same vision or goals for society. Yet out of our diverse experiences and values come a vibrant social structure.--
My experience in teaching and research has helped me better understand the dynamics of social movements, social power, and social change. I believe that one of the best outcomes of a college education is that a person becomes more skilled and confident as a leader in making the world a more justice-filled and collaborative place.
Besides teaching about sociology and constructive conflict transformation, I enjoy being a part of the life of the college and volunteering with several organizations in the Milwaukee metro region. I love discussing current world and national events and spend much of my free time reading newspapers and listing to National Public Radio. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music and believe it gives us important insights into cultures past and present."
