Vita

Rebecca Bordt joined the department as assistant professor of sociology in 2000. She received an M.S. in justice studies from Arizona State University in 1985 and a Ph.D. in sociology from Yale University in 1994. Her teaching and research interests include criminology, gender studies, and the sociology of organizations. She is the author of The Structure of Women’s Nonprofit Organization (Indiana University Press, 1997) and has published articles on classroom teaching strategies, feminist collectives, gender differences in criminal court sentencing and informal dispute resolution. She is currently conducting a sociological analysis of prison narratives written by prisoners.

Outside of academia, Rebecca enjoys fixing up her "new" old home, learning about the flowers she inherited in the garden and biking with her son, Ely.
