​Dr. Jey Strangfeld

My name is Jey Strangfeld and I am a Professor of Sociology in the Department of Sociology, Gerontology, and Gender Studies. I am also currently serving as the Faculty Fellow for Assessment and Continuous Improvement, which means that I am here to support faculty through their program and department assessment processes. I see assessment as a natural extension of what faculty do as educators, because assessment allows us to ask really interesting questions about whether we are accomplishing the educational and learning goals that we set out to achieve. It also presents us with an opportunity to come together with our colleagues to evaluate whether the goals and priorities for our programs have changed over time.

My scholarly research has long been focused in critical pedagogy and assessment of student learning within the classroom, and this has led me to an interest in broader questions centered in the holistic learning process taking place within our majors. I am excited to talk to my colleagues about program assessment and measurements of student learning that feel meaningful and helpful in advancing program goals.
