I have been teaching sociology happily at Centre College since 1990. I founded the Anthropology and Sociology program here, along with Phyllis Passariello.

I have taught 24 different courses in that time.

The required courses that I now teach for the program (major) are:

Introduction to Sociology; Social Structure, Macrosociological Theory; and a Senior Seminar on Class Culture.

The elective courses that I teach for the college are:

Introduction to Family LIfe; Sociology of American Religion; and a Freshmen Seminar on Cafés and Public Life.

I have led study abroad programs in London and South Africa. In 2009 I will take students to Australia.

Before I came to Centre I was a Research Associate in the Office of Research of the U.S. Department of Education.
