Dr. SARA DOROW, ASSOCIATE Director

Sara Dorow researches and teaches in the areas of gender and family, migration and mobile work, globalization, and qualitative methodologies. A sociologist with strong interdisciplinary training, she has directed a series of research projects that foreground gender intersectional and narrative approaches to understanding community, transnational migration and family formation, mobile work experiences, and work-life identities. Over the last fifteen years she has focused these interests on the oil sands region of northern Alberta. She is currently working with a wonderful interdisciplinary team, including a professional photographer, to create a multi-media collection about the meaning of work and to develop intersectional and decolonial approaches to story. Sara has previously served in a variety of administrative roles at UAlberta, including Founding Director of the Community Service-Learning Program and Chair of the Department of Sociology.
