Lindsey Myers

She teaches sociology and interdisciplinary courses in a variety of institutional settings (public and private, two-year and four-year, selective and open-enrollment, research and teaching-focused) and instructional formats (face-to-face, hybrid, online, accelerated). Her research touches on a number of social institutions and how they intersect, including education, the criminal justice system, and the labor market.

A first-generation college graduate, Myers earned her Ph.D. in sociology from The Ohio State University, as well as an MBA in marketing and a B.S. in sociology, both from York College of Pennsylvania.
