I am a Full Professor in the School
of Criminology, and an associate
member in SFU’s Department of Gender, Sexuality and
Women’s Studies (GSW), and adjunct faculty in University of Regina’s
Department of Justice Studies. My key interests are: Sociology of Law, Gender
and Law, Social Inclusion and Homophobic and Transphobic
Bullying, Midwifery and the State, Critical Criminology, Penal abolition,
Academic integrity, and efforts to support non-traditional postsecondary
students, especially mid-career, mature students. I chaired the Ad Hoc
Committee on Lifelong Learning at SFU and served as the BC/Yukon regional
representative for the Writers’ Union
of Canada from 1999-2001. Other key interests include teaching with
online technology and our undergraduate
Honours program in Criminology. I chair the
Academic Integrity Committee in the School of Criminology
and am a board member for the West Coast Book Prize Society (http://www.bcbookprizes.ca/index.php)
