My Siena Experience
My Teaching Philosophy
I try to impart theoretical grounding, methodological skills, and critical social sensitivities to students as they engage in the process of social inquiry. I see my classroom as a place to inspire sociological imagination and intellectual inquisitiveness.
What I Love About Siena
Siena offers immense opportunities for interdisciplinary teaching and research. Its quest for social justice and diversity makes Siena an ideal place to teach Sociology.
