I teach undergraduate and graduate courses about women, revolution, social change, culture, and development in Latin America, the diaspora, and Third World more generally. I also teach sociology and women's studies methodology classes. My courses are interdisciplinary in subject and content. I use a variety of types of texts including: social science, fiction, memoir, testimony, and film.

Undergraduate Courses Taught:

• Women, Culture, and Development (an earlier version was published in Syllabi and Teaching Resources for the Sociology of Development and Women and Development. Ed., B. Kardaras. American Sociological Association. April, 2005).
• Imagining the Americas: Film, Literature, and Politics in Latin America
• Conflict and Connection in the Americas
• Feminist Revolutions in Latin America
• Table Talk: Food, Culture, and Development
• World Inequality and Underdevelopment
• Introduction to Women's Studies: Latin American and Caribbean Perspective
• Development and Social Change in Latin America
• Women's Struggles in Asia, Africa, and Latin America

Graduate Courses Taught:

• Women and Development (published in Syllabi and Teaching Resources for the Sociology of Development and Women and Development. Ed., B. Kardaras. American Sociological Association. April, 2005).
• Field Research Methods (published in Teaching Qualitative Methods Compendium. Eds., D. Ballard & V. Jensen. American Sociological Association. 2007).
• Culture and Resistance in the Americas
• Methods and Topics in Women's Studies

I have also worked hard to "internationalize" the Women's Studies curriculum. I started leading workshops on the topic while a graduate student at UC Santa Barbara and have since organized them at Emory, the National Women's Studies Association annual meeting, and the Sociologists for Women in Society bi-annual meeting. I have worked with graduate students to create a resource packet that has been circulated internationally (click here to download the Internationalizing Courses resource packet).
