I am a fully retired Professor Emeritus in the School
of Criminology.
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 cohort-based learning and teaching
with online technology. I have worked on the academic integrity committee in
Criminology and I am a board member and President of the West Coast Book
Prize Society.
