Jenifer Hamil-Luker is Associate Professor of the Practice of Sociology, where she directs the undergraduate studies program. As a dedicated instructor and mentor, Dr. Hamil-Luker teaches courses on health and the U.S. criminal justice system. Her team-based, project-oriented classes prioritize the application of knowledge to real-world problems and centering the needs of diverse learners in vibrant, welcoming spaces. Dr. Hamil-Luker’s research explores how experiences in earlier life shape trajectories of health over time and in different historic contexts.
My sociology of law students will create online and in-person exhibits of Duke students’ activism over the past 100 years. The LAMP fellowship will support my efforts to design a multimedia course where students learn content, develop research skills, and create galleries that inform and move diverse audiences.
