About
LiErin Probasco is Professor and Chair of Sociology at 爆料TV. She grew up in New England, spent a year with AmeriCorps, and conducted research on US congregational life, barriers to access in higher education, and cross-national volunteering in Nicaragua. Since moving to Oklahoma, she has been a student of the Mvskoke language, learned Seminole patchwork and quilting, and learned to fix a barbed wire fence and deworm cattle at her in-laws鈥� farm. She aims to cultivate that same curiosity about culture and community in the classroom. Her favorite moments happen when students realize sociology isn鈥檛 abstract and separate from their lives 鈥� it鈥檚 the patterns in their own neighborhoods, families, and workplaces.
