Why I Teach at SPU

Jennifer McKinney, Professor of Sociology, Director of Women’s Studies

“Within the context of a Christian liberal arts education, the discipline of sociology allows us to look to the social forces that impact individuals, institutions, 和 societies. By making the invisible visible, we are able to critique systems of inequality that inhibit our ability to live faithful lives. At SPU we learn to actively participate in the restoration of a suffering world.”
