| Biography/Autobiographical Information/Current Status/Curriculum Vitae |
Laurel Richardson, famous Feminist Sociologist, spent a lifetime adding to her list of published works and academic accomplishments. But the achievements did not stop there. Ms. Richardson also has received honors for her accomplishments in the arts, particularly creative writing and poetry. More is provided through her academic journey and biography than anything else--a journey that crosses over the states and brings her to many a prestigious establishment.
Laurel Richardson received her undergraduate degree from the University of Chicago, and her Ph.D from the University of Colorado. After her graduation, Ms. Richardson worked at the California State University, Denison University, and finally at the University of Ohio, where she is currently located. During this time, Laurel Richardson worked to complete NUMEROUS published works in the field of sociology, while simultaneously pursuing creative writing (such as poetry) for pleasure. Furthermore, Laurel Richardson has kept a strong feminist perspective throughout her works, particularly focusing on the study of sex and gender. In the mid 80's, she became the president of the North Central Sociological Association.
Today, Laurel Richardson is teaching in the sociology department of the University of Ohio.

On a more personal level, Laurel Richardson is a mother of two sons, both of whom she is very proud of. She is also a grandmother. After interviewing Laurel Richardson, I found her to be a very creative, easy-going, friendly woman who has a passion for her career that goes above and beyond a mere paycheck and the recognition--she truly loves what she does. She has worked steadily in the field of sociology, but also has accomplished much in the field of writing and art--such as book altering--in a long, continuing lifetime career.
Laurel Richardson has gained many impressive awards and achievements in her lifetime--but the work she is most proud of is her most personal work, such as bringing up a family, or writing a book for a close friend of hers who passed away. (http://www.lcoastpress.com/book.php?id=91)
More about Laurel Richardson's life can be uncovered through reading her work and from her interview itself; I hope that these articles will give a closer look at a woman who I was honored to interview. |
