Profile:
Assistant Professor of Sociology
Raised on a cattle ranch in Oklahoma, Gwen Sharp attended the University of Oklahoma for her undergraduate degree, receiving her B.A. in Sociology in 1997. She then entered the program in Sociology and Rural Sociology from the University of Wisconsin--Madison, receiving her Ph.D. in 2005. Beginning in 2005 she taught a broad range of sociology courses at Southern Utah University, in Cedar City, Utah, including Race and Ethnicity, Gender Studies, Sociology of Sport, Urban Sociology, and Introduction to Sociology and Social Problems. Fall 2007 is her first semester at NSC. Dr. Sharp's research interests include food systems (particularly the U.S. beef industry), racial identity, popular conceptions of the role of scientific research in the production of knowledge, and intimidation and harassment of social science researchers by research subjects. Her most recent publication, "The Safety Dance: Confronting Harassment, Intimidation, and Violence in the Field," co-authored with Emily Kremer, was published in Sociological Methodology in 2006. She is currently revising her dissertation, an investigation of the U.S. beef commodity chain, for publication. She enjoys riding horses, reading for pleasure instead of research, cooking, and playing with her dog, Corky.
