Overview:
I am committed to providing high quality teaching. At NC State, I have designed and taught (1) a face-to-face undergraduate course on deviance and social control, and (2) both a face-to-face and an online undergraduate courses on sociological research methods. I also served as a lab instructor for sociological research methods and served as TA for various courses including social class; criminology; institutions of social control; and sociology of law.
I am particularly interested in teaching: crime, deviance and social control; criminological theory; community and crime; community and urban sociology; family and the life course; and social research methods.
