Good
Despite being new to teaching, he is very energetic and passionate about sociological issues and ideas. He keeps his class engaging. He's very relaxed and open-minded as well. I admire how he tackles racial and cultural issues at a majority white, Catholic school. However, he loves surprising students with assignments
Biography
Aquinas College - Sociology
Associate Director, Office of Undergraduate Research & Scholarship |
Director, GVSU McNair Scholars Program
David A.
Martin Jr., Ph.D
Grand Rapids, Michigan
I earned my Ph.D in sociology at the University of Oregon. I am committed to high-impact and culturally relevant education, with a special focus on connecting resources and opportunities to historically underrepresented student populations. My research and teaching interests involve the study of racial stratification, Identity formation, and the experiences of students of color in higher education. I have additional research specialties in social media communications and Internet studies. Presently, I examine the role of social media communications in racial identity formation for African American young adults in college.
In my roles as Associate Director and Program Director, I am responsible for strategic planning, program design and implementation, federal grant budget compliance/oversight and management, and staff development. I also coordinate faculty mentor/mentee collaborations, oversee recruitment for the McNair Scholars Program, and provide direct professional development and academic training to McNair Scholars and other student researchers.

Director, GVSU McNair Scholars
Grand Valley State University
McNair Scholar
As a McNair Scholar I created and executed an independent research project that was later published as a full-feature article in the Michigan Sociological Review in my senior year. In addition to my research, I participated in the advanced academic writing courses and rigourous public speaking training that were requisites of the program. As a result of my performance and leadership in those endeavors, I was elected President of the 2008 McNair cohort. My participation in the GVSU McNair Scholars Program, and the accumulated experience and skill I gained from do so, resulted in three fully-funded offers of admittance into ranked doctoral programs in sociology.Grand Valley State University

Graduate Teaching Fellow - Department of Sociology
As a Graduate Teaching Fellow at the University of Oregon, I taught and assisted for classes of varying levels and sizes. In those courses I was responsible for crafting lectures, creating and grading assignments, facilitating group exercises, and generally introducing students to the discipline of sociology. The classes ranged from high-enrollment Introduction to Sociology, to smaller and more advanced courses such as Experiencing Racial and Ethnic Diversity, Sociology of Mass Media, Research Methods, and Social Stratification. In the classroom, I provided my students with a mix of teaching methods in order to be inclusive of multiple learning styles and contemporary modes of communication. It was also part of my teaching philosophy to engage in culturally relevant pedagogy that facilitated learning by connecting the material with the lived experiences of my students. I accomplished that goal by combining traditional lectures and in-class activities with online social networking sites and other Internet-based resources. My approach provided a layered learning experience that engaged students in the educational process.Grand Rapids Community College
