  mentoring_philosophy: |
    I have had the pleasure of mentoring many talented graduate and undergraduate students throughout my career. As a university professor, I strive to provide mentees with an environment conducive to learning, knowledge that will improve their ability to articulate their individual standpoints, and constructive feedback that will help them instead of discouraging them. 

    Students learn skills best through an interactive teaching style that demands their participation and challenges them to think. As such, when mentoring an undergraduate student, my style or approach is interactive and respectful.  Towards this end, my approach to training the next generation of scholars and advocates involves a great deal of appreciation of their time and efforts.  Students are provided clear aims and project tasks.  I make every effort to make my assignments are concise and that people don’t feel lost in the assignment. I also provide examples of responses to the assignment, if necessary.  Before starting work as a research mentee, I meet with students to learn about their interests as well as their current strengths and challenges.  To discover what motivates mentees, I ask them to talk about their goals for the experience and how much time they intend to devote to the collaboration.  I also ask mentees about their work and class schedule because I wouldn't want our work to interfere with other responsibilities. Finally, to encourage a free exchange of feedback, I ask my mentees to reach out via phone, email, or remote interface to discuss any concerns or questions that emerge.

  overall_research_project_description: |
    Work will contribute to a textbook that is concerned with how social inequalities are created, maintained, and confronted in modern US society. This textbook project will offer content that engages students' interests with information that extends beyond the demographic profiles offered in most social inequality textbooks.

    A good percentage of leading textbooks are readers that are more suitable for graduate students than undergraduate students, based on the level of reading material difficulty. In many cases, these well-received textbooks lack discussion of foundational terms, conditions, and institutional circumstances that create and maintain the social inequalities engaged throughout the text.  This project is designed to assist instructors’ capacity to meet learning goals in lower and intermediate level courses. 

    My textbook project’s unique contribution involves an attempt to compliment the macrolevel focus in conventional social inequality textbooks with attention to the local and state-level decision-making that help shape and maintain unequal conditions between social groups.  This textbook will also enable students to learn about conditions across various social groups that we oftentimes ignore (e.g., people with special needs, the elderly, and residents in poor communities).
