 Teaching Philosophy 

I am committed to an interdisciplinary approach to teaching.  I also teach from a feminist perspective, which means that I show how sex, gender, sexuality, race, and class fit with whatever we are learning in sociology.  To me, those are key to seeing the world with both eyes wide open.   I work to help students accomplish whatever they want. I encourage research, help students present at conferences, publish their research and then apply for graduate school if they want.  I have an interest in looking at life from a global perspective as well.  In May 2007, I took students to Thailand where they had the opportunity to feel and see the issues we talk and read about in class.  I believe this really makes a difference.
