Professor, Chair

Sociology

My Ph.D. is in Religion and Social Change, and I teach classes in religion, law, gender, French society, and research design. My dissertation was on Protestant family values, and more recent research has been on changing roles for clergy spouses, sexual misconduct in the United Methodist and Episcopal denominations, and domestic violence court procedures. I have also published on midwifery in the U.S. and gender depictions in Sunday School materials. As an applied researcher, I regularly oversee student research on behalf of Planned Parenthood and the El Paso County courts.
