Education and Credentials
BA Hons (Saskatchewan) Sociology
MA (Saskatchewan) Sociology
PhD (British Columbia) Sociology
Douglas College Faculty since 2001
My experiences as a human rights officer lead to an interest in studying the challenges faced by practitioners in the development and implementation of human rights policies at post-secondary institutions. My research focus has expanded in recent years to include studying the impact of Sociology courses on students' attitudes towards marginalized social groups. I am particularly interested in strategies to encourage transformative learning through the development of a sociological imagination, as this will help students to think critically about social issues.
