Research and Teaching

Sandy received her MSW from the University of Montana and her Ph.D. from Portland State University. She has over a decade of direct practice experience in the areas of mental health, disability, and youth development. Her research pursues two overlapping areas of inquiry: examining social work’s role in upholding systems of injustice and the study of contemporary issues pertaining to the carceral state. A primary goal of her scholarship is to advance community-based, non-punitive approaches to addressing harm and need. Sandy’s teaching and scholarship are driven by an emphasis on social justice and aim to strengthen the relationship between critical and feminist theories and social work education, research, and practice.
