1. How did you become interested in sociology?
I was an undergraduate anthropology major, I thought it was fascinating to learn about other cultures and societies, but what was really fascinating was how it helped me see my own society and the water I was swimming in.
2. What areas of sociology do you specialize in?
Social psychology, feminist theory and research methods.
3. What classes are you currently teaching?
gender lens bring to society?
Feminist theory and research methods.
4. What importance does the
The question I'm interested in is how do we know things. Is the way we think about things the only way you could think of it, or the best way to think about it? The gender lens and the way we learn to think about society comes from looking at it from one's perspectives and that helps us see from other
perspectives. Like looking at it from women's perspective and asking to what extent things would look different.
5. Why is the study of sociology important?
better understand it. We live in a complex society; the quality of the world we live in is dependent on what we understand. Everyone should take sociology, for survival.
6. You're the author of "Feminist Methodologies for Critical Researchers: Bridging Differences." What was your main goal for the book?
Because we're doing it so we
My book questions people's assumptions about the best way to build sociological analysis and understanding. I criticize mainstream ways of research and some feminist stereotypes that need to be thought through. Sociology can make our society better, so we should do it. I wanted to create and give people ideas about how to produce better and more useful understanding.
7. Are you currently working on any projects or works? If so, what?
I'm interested in understanding how sociologists make their decisions about what to teach, what to research and what services to provide. The way we evaluate scholars
shapes what kinds of knowledge gets produced.
8. Do you have any hobbies or unique talents?
I've always wanted to quilt, and I've recently finished my first bedside quilt. I like to garden by having my husband dig the hole, I like to think that I'm the ideal person when it comes to gardening.
9. What's one of your favorite things about KU?
I think people at KU tend to be very friendly in a positive way; they try to be helpful and cooperative.
In the northwest of Argentina sipping malbec (Argentine wine) and writing the book that will make everyone convinced that gender is socially created. Otherwise, I would be a torch singer in a nightclub. I love singing ballads, and I once performed in front of paying audiences singing and dancing. I even played Captain Hook in my high school's production of Peter Pan (it was an all-girls high-school).
10. In 10 years, where do you see yourself?
What do you think?
