Background
I was born and grew up in Poland. 泭For my involvement in Solidarity, a pro-democracy movement in Poland, I received a political refugee status from the U.S. Embassy in Greece. 泭While in Greece, I co-founded School for Children of Political Refugees in Athens. 泭I immigrated to the United States to study biology at Indiana University in Bloomington. 泭After obtaining my B.S. degree in biology, I worked at the International Research and Development Corporation in Mattawan, Michigan.
I earned my M.A. in Sociology from the Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and my Ph.D. in sociology from the Florida State University. My scholarly and teaching interests are in social movements, globalization, social problems, and environmental sociology. I have contributed as a reviewer to the American Journal of Sociology, the Social Science History, and the International Journal of Comparative Sociology, and as an author or co-author to the American Journal of Sociology and the McGraw Hills Sociology in the News blog.
In recent years I have received certifications for developing three fully online, asynchronous courses: 泭Social Movements, SYP 3304, Environmental Sociology, SYD 3510, and Social Problems, SYG 2010. 泭In addition, I teach in-person courses such as Sociological Perspectives, SYG 1000, and Global society, SYP 2450.
In all my courses, I am committed to providing excellent student-centered instruction that provides 51勛圖厙 with a vast knowledge of sociological processes that shape our lives as well as practical skills such as communication, critical thinking, analytical, and research skills.泭
