Since 2002 I have lived on campus as part of Vanderbilt's faculty-in-residence program; I love living on campus and among students. I believe that my primary role as a faculty member in residence is to participate in student-organized activities; I listen and I often ask questions and comment; I regularly lead McGill Hours (see below) and participate in the McGill Hours of other faculty. I serve on student organization and selection committees; I participate in many on-campus seminars, panels, discussions, and other events such as Take-Back-the-Night. I also host open houses, brunches, and dinners for students and staff at the faculty dorm apartment. Occasionally I receive impromptu visits from students. I enjoy hiking, movies, and the Nashville Symphony with students.

A reflection on Shirley Chismolm's views on women (Spring, 2006)

Personal Archetypes (Fall, 2006)

Panel facilitator: Global Climate Change (Spring, 2007)
