Biography

I love talking to students and the public about how research can create and contribute to social justice. I collaborate with students often and help them research their own interests. I am a feminist sociologist of gender and Professor in the Department of Women's and Gender Studies at West Chester University of Pennsylvania. For over twenty years, I have studied, applied, taught, and published in the areas of intersectionality theory and sociology of gender as it relates to the experiences of women of color college students, nursing and other forms of care work, human trafficking, intimate violence, and immigration.
