My areas of academic interest include intellectual and ethical development, and issues of family violence. The former grew out of professional work in clinical developmental psychology and college counseling; the latter out of political work on domestic violence issues. Teaching, curriculum development, and work with agencies concerned with family violence are my major professional preoccupations. I serve on the Massachusetts NASW Committee on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, belong to the Boston Liberation Health Group, sit on a domestic violence team at a Boston office of the Department of Children and Families, and consult with the Family Violence Prevention Fund on a number of projects. Currently, I teach two classes that have outside support, in addition to a doctoral class. The Bridge to Graduate Education (SW030) is an intensive course for bi-cultural and/or bi-lingual human service workers interested in getting an MSW. Leadership in Anti-Violence Work (SW581) is an interdisciplinary class, sponsored in part by the Family Violence Prevention Fund. In 2009-2010 I will be employed by Simmons only half-time as I approach retirement in 2010.
