Courses and Mentoring

My teaching portfolio includes research methods (undergraduate and graduate), statistics (undergraduate and graduate), the sociology of law (undergraduate and graduate), foundations of applied sociology, complex organizations (graduate), and a team-taught MA research paper seminar, the sociology of homelessness. and a senior seminar on human sociality.

When I teach graduate research methods or mentor graduate students as Research Assistants, I engage students in research projects that infuse the content of particular assignments and job requirements with focus on a practical research question. These projects involve multiple methods and exemplify both the process and goals of applied sociology.  See Applied Research Reports for many examples.

Complete course evaluations from the last in-person course I taught for undergraduates (Fall 2019) and for graduates (Spring 2022) convey the impact of my teaching style on student learning.
