Professor Coates has been teaching at CCSF since 2007.
Her teaching philosophy is straightforward. "Each time I step into a classroom my goal is to encourage students to learn, provide opportunities for students to establish connections with one another, and empower students to become proactive learners. To me this means continually updating course material, utilizing a variety of teaching methods and styles to disseminate information, and pushing students beyond their comfort zones by teaching them how to critically evaluate social life in our society as well as others. This is an exciting profession and I feel that excitement needs to also be in the classroom."
Professor Coates has published Hey, Purritty Gurrl! Black Stereotyping: Social Interactions among African American and West Indian College Students in Metropolitan New York. Dissertation Research.
She is a member of the American Sociological Association and Caribbean Studies Association.
Professor Coates enjoys spending time with her three loves: her husband and their two incredibly intelligent, articulate and beautiful princess girls. Other things she likes to do - cake decorate & create jewelry for family & friends.

Prof. Moore has been teaching at CCSF since 1995
My teaching philosophy is to share my love of learning and have a lot of fun doing it, to stimulate the development of an inquisitive mind, and to radically question the status quo. I also seek to introduce students to social science methodology and theory in order to help them develop systematic and rigorous thought processes, the ability to evaluate evidence and argument, and the skills of articulating ideas cogently and coherently.
I have been researching and publishing in the field of sociology for many years, beginning with my doctoral research in the early 1970s. My current research focusses on the interaction between human society and the natural environment. My work on water issues has appeared in the reader "Environmental Sociology: from analysis to action", edited by Leslie King and Deborah McCarthy,2005, and an article in "Organization and Environment", September, 1998.
My other interests and concerns are hiking, recording music on garageband,and being a dad - my son is 14.

Professor Roberts has been teaching at CCSF since January 1996
For me, one of the most important aspects of teaching in the Behavioral Sciences is being responsible for creating a safe space where students will have the opportunity to fully explore, question, and absorb the subjects of psychology, psychological research, and the statistical tools necessary for psychological research. My expectation is that the classroom be a place where students will feel comfortable asking potentially difficult or frustrating questions about the material, will be responded to by a willing and supportive instructor and fellow students, and will come away having learned the competent use of tools that can be applied in a broad range of careers, ranging from business, the arts, sports, psychology, and other sciences.
I greatly enjoy hiking, photography, and gardening.
