Teaching

Wichita State University

I teach Introduction to Sociology (SOC 111), Medical Sociology (SOC 538), and Health and Lifestyle (SOC 338) in rotation. Most of the classes that I teach are in a traditional, in-person format, but I also offer hybrid and online versions of these classes some semesters.

As an instructor, I enjoy guiding students as they develop their sociological imagination, especially as it relates to the social and cultural aspects of health, illness, and medicine.

Northwestern University

In Summer 2022, I taught Social Problems as an online course in the Department of Sociology. In the Winter and Spring Quarters of 2022, I designed and taught a capstone course for international studies called “Integrating Project Seminar: Medicine, Health, and Wellness in Global and Comparative Perspective.” This was a capstone course for International Studies majors and focused on guiding students through the process of designing and conducting an international research project.
