Master of Arts in
Sociology, University of Missouri - 2003
Bachelor of Arts, University of Missouri; Pierre Laclede Honors College - 2001 (Minor in Business Organization and Management with an emphasis in Management and Leadership of Non-profit Organizations and Human Resource Management.)
My teaching interests include: Social Problems, Intro to Sociology, Sociology of the Family, Sociology of Work, Gender Roles in Contemporary Society, and Globalization. Sociology gives individuals an opportunity to objectively examine the world in which we live in the hopes of escaping a "false consciousness" - that is - a lack of awareness and a distorted perception of the reality of social creations as it affects all aspects of social life.
"If men define situations
as real, they are real in their
consequences"...W.I. Thomas
