Trina Smith, PhD

 
I received my PhD in Sociology with a minor in Feminist Studies from the University of Minnesota in September 2008, under the guidance of Professor Elizabeth Heger Boyle.  My teaching and research interests include gender, inequality, globalization, medicine and health, reproduction, communities, and diversity issues. I have experience in research, teaching, professional, and community service. The following links detail my interest in sociology and my research and teaching training and experiences.
