Curriculum Vita
My major research interests are the determinants of physical activity particularly bicycling in populations, bicycling injuries, occupational and environmental health and sports injuries. The bicycle-related research is an area I am trying to develop. My interest in occupational health is informed by ten years of work in the 1980s and 1990s with non-profit organizations advocating for improved workplace health conditions in Wisconsin and North Carolina. Since then I have been involved in research documenting racial and ethnic disparities in work-related cancers and risk assessment research comparing cancer risks estimated from epidemiologic studies with risks estimated from animal bioassays. My CV contains a complete list of my publications from my research in these areas.
I teach epidemiology and environmental health to both MPH students and undergraduates. The four cornerstones of my teaching philosophy are,
- Treat students as I would like to be treated (with respect).
- As much as possible include participatory activities in my teaching because students learn by doing.
- Incorporate current research and my research into my teaching in order to share my passion for learning and introduce the latest thinking in the field to students.
- Teaching does not stop at the classroom door.
