This semester wraps my 10th year teaching at Maryville College.

Among this year’s teaching highlights was attending the “New Directions in Critical Race and Ethnic Studies” conference at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville with several of my students from Introductory Sociology and Social Inequality. I also cherished the opportunity to make a donation with my Social Inequality class to Blount County Family Promise, in honor of a wonderful student enrolled in our class who died unexpectedly in the last week of the semester.
