Introduction

I have a PhD in Sociology and a graduate certificate in Women’s Studies.  My work examines cultural determinants of attainment among men and women.  In particular, I focus on education, employment choices/ career trajectories and how these vary by gender.  I joined Zayed University in 2013.  Since then, I have taught several undergraduate courses including comparative sociology, development and underdevelopment, issues in national development, women, society, and politics and popular culture.
