I participated in grading, student             advising, and providing framing within the courses divided focus on Visualization and “User- Centered Design” / “social entrepreneurship”. I included sociological framing of “social problems” and “needs assessment” as well as methodological discussions of interview technique and research ethics.

Poverty and Affluence (Department of Urban Studies, Queens College, CUNY) Feb – May 2006

Professor: Candace Kim Edel (Department of Urban Studies, Queens College, CUNY) Prior to entry into graduate school, I assisted my mother in the final semester before her retirement with grading, course preparation and lectures. My contribution focused on sociological definitions of race and class, as well as historically situating theories of marginality in expert discourse and policy. Discussions included relations of social stratification in urban spaces as a result and contributing factors to a) theories of public health and b) urban development. Poverty and Affluence was a core course for majors and minors in Urban Studies, and cross listed as an elective in the sociology
program.
