While many of courses I teach at are criminal justice/criminology classes, I always include a sociological perspective. I believe that teaching should have critical research, advocacy, personal reflection, and community engagement, whether inside or outside the classroom.
I often strive to add guest speakers and am proud to have hosted local PA organizations, including Art For Justice, the Pennsylvania Innocence Project, and Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM).
