Community Service

As a concerned resident of Brooklyn, and a Brooklyn College faculty member, I have provided a wide variety of services over the years to the following organizations. As part of my commitment to bringing the college and community together I have developed courses, and programs which bring my students to the community, and the community to the college. For example, in Research Seminars, paper assignments, and in field trips to neighborhoods through the borough for my graduate and undergraduate courses. This work and my own research have resulted in many of the previously cited publications, papers, and other professional activities. * Denotes current membership or activity.
