Current course and curriculum development: The experience of the San Antonio Four is research worthy on many levels. Four young women were wrongfully convicted in 1994 and were unjustly incarcerated. Research into the experience of these four women can enlighten education, psychology, sociology, criminal justice, and social justice. Current course development will profile the lived experience of these four women to address the myriad of relevant issues. Course and curriculum direction will address: trauma, PTSD, resiliency, and lived experiences in prison, reentry and transition, social injustice, and various societal and culture issues.

Research interests include homeless veterans, PTSD, transition; federal offenders, reentry and restorative justice. Potential dissertation topics under consideration include the life histories of selected former migrant workers and their experiences of leadership and education, social and psychological development; the San Antonio Four and implications for research in education, sociology, psychology, criminal justice, and social justice. Other research interests considered: first generation college students, veteran students, non-traditional students, undergraduates, graduates, community college students.
