Douglas College Faculty member 2005 - 2020.
I began my academic career in the UK, then immigrated to Canada in 1996, teaching for eight years in the Sociology Department at the University of Victoria before joining Douglas College in 2005. I currently teach courses in Introductory Sociology, Gender, Family, and Research Methods. After spending many years conducting research on gender (including an analysis of how Mother’s Day and Father’s Day cards portray gendered roles in the home), I have more recently been engaged mainly in research on teaching and learning. I participated in two collaborative studies with Douglas College colleagues (the first exploring student engagement, and the second, student experiences in our summer ‘field schools’) and then in 2012 embarked on a solo research project investigating student learning in the introductory sociology course I teach. Specifically, my three-year study employed the concept of learning thresholds to examine how students’ exposure to the 'sociological imagination' can have a transformative effect on their worldview. This research revealed important variations in students’ initial ability to develop a sociological imagination and also in its long-term impact on them, and (in keeping with the ethos of SoTL) these findings have ultimately led me to revise my approach to teaching this concept

Mining e-mail content for author identification forensics
No full textWe describe an investigation into e-mail content mining for author identification, or authorship attribution, for the purpose of forensic investigation. We focus our discussion on the ability to discriminate between authors for the case of both aggregated e-mail topics as well as across different email topics. An extended set of e-mail document features including structural characteristics and linguistic patterns were derived and, together with a Support Vector Machine learning algorithm, were used for mining the e-mail content. Experiments using a number of e-mail documents generated by different authors on a set of topics gave promising results for both aggregated and multi-topic author categorisation
Book Review: "Gender and Global Justice edited by Alison M. Jaggar, Cambridge: Polity Press, 2014"
No full textHidden aspects of assumed gender-neutral global policies and transnational institutions\ud
that have “systematically disparate and often burdensome consequences for specific\ud
groups of women in both the global North and the global South” (10) are the focus of\ud
Gender and Global Justice edited by Alison M Jagger. In response to the frequent neglect\ud
of gender in considerations of moral philosophy in global issues, the chapters assembled\ud
in this edited collection highlight the manifold ways in which our attention to a broad\ud
range of questions of justice at a global level is enhanced by close attention to the\ud
gendered dimensions of injustice and inequality
