What else?
You can download (an old!) Teaching Philosophy here (yes, I need to update!) and here is a 2 minute intro video of me from March 2021. I produce two unique teaching podcasts as an ongoing teaching innovation. My Corrections Close Up podcast contains 17 mini-interviews with criminal justice professionals. The podcast project Why Sociology? I created wth Dr. Angela Adkins and it consists of eight episodes of interviews with Sociology graduates in applied career fields. Both podcasts are used in classrooms around the nation, respective assignments are published in TRAILS:

Selected Teaching documentation
- Sociology of Gender, Sex, and Sexualities class in Spring 2023. My first attempt in “Ungrading” takes the focus from point values and grades and emphasizes deep learning instead. The class was built on self-assessment, peer review and my extensive regular individual feedback to “negotiate” a final grade (Syllabus Gender Sex Sexualities Spring 2023). Students enjoyed opportunities to develop job-related skills by organizing a campus Rethinking Race event. The student-led event was held on March 9, 2023, featuring award-winning trans-activist and artist LuSter P. Singleton. The recording of that event is available on the BCAS YouTube channel, and functions as a concrete work product students can include on their resumes. I have been interviewed about this class for the EXL website in Fall 2023.
