All of our educational approaches in the College of LAS depend upon social engagement, though in quite different ways depending on the specific discipline. The inherent physicality of theatre and dance, for example, can make student engagement especially challenging through remote learning.

I conduct research because I love the process of finding answers to pertinent questions about evolving patterns of family life. As my friends and family often say, my curious mind can’t stop asking why. I also consider it a privilege to be part of the group of scholars in my field whose research informs changes in social policies and individual and group actions.
