WORK EXPERIENCE
L'Université Concordia Assistant Professor of Sociology (Contract)
2007 - 2009 Montreal, Quebec CANADA
Taught undergraduate courses in Criminology and Juvenile Delinquency, Social Theory and Research Methods. Despite their substantive differences, those courses adopted a similar commitment to principles of equity and social justice. This position, combined with my recent studies in the Faculty of Law at McGill, has opened a new avenues to explore as I continue my search for a tenure-stream position. -
L'Université d'Ottawa Assistant Professor of Criminology and Social Sciences of Health
2005 - 2006 Ottawa, Ontario CANADA
Designed courses in social justice and conflict, criminological theory and Minorities and Justice Performed a full range of service and administrative duties aimed at student recruitment and retention. I was honoured to be nominated by my students and selected as a finalist for the National Capital Award for Excellence in Teaching--a first for the Department of Criminology at the University of Ottawa. -
C.T. Lamont Centre/Elisabeth Bruyère Research Institute Recruitment Coordinator / Research Assistant
2005 - 2006 Ottawa, Ontario CANADA
I created and executed a complex recruitment framework for a multi-method research project focused on access to primary health care. Feminist methodologies of inclusion and direct action were key tools in ensuring a balance between the voices of service providers and consumers. -
University of Oklahoma Assistant Professor of Sociology
2000 - 2005 Norman, Oklahoma USA
Building on my field experiences in Los Angeles, I continued to develop my teaching and research agenda in the ares of sexualities, gender, HIV/AIDS and social control. I added 2 new courses to the curriculum: an undergraduate Capstone course dealing with Feminist Perspectives on Sex Work and Prostitution and a graduate seminar in Sociology of Law. Other duties included courses and seminars on gender, inequalities, research methods, feminist research methods and prostitution and sex work. I received strong evaluations from students and faculty alike. Developed new ways to engage with students through service learning and community based projects and assessments, such as the design and sale of t-shirts in a course on Global Inequalities. -
Los Angeles County Department of Health Services Epidemiologist / Research Assistant / Ethnographic and Community Specialist
1998 - 2000 Los Angeles, California USA
Supervising a team of 4 Community Health workers, I used my skills in ethnography, research design and project management to conduct a multi-site study on risk behaviours among men who frequented bathhouses and saunas in Los Angeles. In addition to training staff in qualitative methodologies, I conducted more than a dozen in-depth ethnographic interviews in both Spanish and English with the participants. Using participant and non-participant observations, I would then recruited by the Director of the LA County Sexually Transmitted Infections Unit to spearhead the County multicultural response to the epidemic rate of syphilis infections among HIV positive community members. From these efforts, breakthrough knowledge transfer initiatives were established with a diverse group of Community Based Organizations. I have presented findings from these projects worldwide, including the XIII International AIDS Conference in Durban, South Africa. -
