Biography
I consider teaching to be a scholarly activity and my goal for teaching is to focus on students learning by promoting a productive learning community. In class I try to encourage students to pose sociological questions and to bring data to bear on them. In all my courses, I emphasize the centrality of race, class, and gender in society and in sociological analysis. I try to structure my courses to develop the sociological literacy of the students and the application of sociological knowledge to policy issues.
