Personal StatementMy main "home" at Adelphi is on the faculty of the Political Science Department. For more about the department, see: http://academics.adelphi.edu/artsci/pol/
Adelphi has a Collaboration Project--an open, inclusive, and diverse group that works to engage ALL campus constituents around issues of social justice and community building. I have been involved in Adelphi's Collaboration Project since 2007. During the fall 2010 semester, I served as coordinator. I also served as coordinator for the "End Gendered Violence" initiative of the Collaboration Project during the fall 2011 and spring 2012 semesters. For more information about the Collaboration Project, see: http://events.adelphi.edu/collaborationproject/
During the fall 2010 semester, I became Director of the Gender Studies minor. For more information about the program, see:
