Vernon Woodley

I am from a tiny Caribbean island called St.Kitts, which most people have never heard about. Subsequently, my transition to Iowa has been literally chilling. Fortunately, most of the people whom I have met have added a touch of warmth to the blistering cold. I have a BA in Cross-Cultural Studies from Divine Word College and as such, I take a keen interest in meeting and getting to know people from many different nations and cultures.

I came to the University of Iowa in the Fall of 2003. Since then I have worked as a TA for Michael Lovaglia, primarily leading Introduction to Sociology discussion sections. I am currently a TA for Dawn Robinson. My research interests are Social Psychology and Sociology of Family, but I also have interests in Political and Economic Sociology.

To unwind from it all, I enjoy long drives, singing and listening to music, or an occasional non-intellectual movie or theatrical play.
