Literacy, safety, community and identity are common themes interwoven in Dr. Susanne Green’s work in criminal justice, education, teaching and research. She is a writing and research consultant with more than 15 years of writing, research and teaching experience in Canada and the U.S. in diverse fields such as sociology, justice, public administration and English. The backbone of any class Green teaches is the goal that students learn to critically and thoughtfully engage issues that are current, personal, social and rooted in discourse. She considers the classroom a prime location for the creative process of the “discovery” of knowledge. Experiential learning guides her pedagogy as students engage in real-world projects appropriate for their course of study. Whether building community online or face-to-face, Green includes multimedia components in each class.
