Areas Of Professional Interest: My doctoral dissertation, "Infusing HIV/AIDS issues into the baccalaureate curriculum: Faculty Participation" explored the HIV/AIDS educational efforts that occurred in institutions of higher education. Specifically, the purpose of the study was to identify the curricular and instructional beliefs, motivations, and decision-making practices of baccalaureate faculty members that influence whether or not they infuse AIDS/HIV issues into their courses.
