I am a visiting assistant professor at Amherst College.
My research asks: How do people produce culture? And how do some cultural innovations achieve a revered or canonized status?
I teach sociology while providing students with opportunities to develop richer understandings of their everyday lives and stronger visions of their professional futures. I believe sociological thinking is empowering. In my classrooms, I demonstrate how sociological insights shed light on students’ everyday circumstances and can help them better understand the invisible hurdles standing in the way of their professional goals.
