Rebecca Bach received her Ph.D. in sociology from Purdue University in 1982. Dr. Bach's major interests in sociology include gender, sexuality, and inequality. Her past research has focused on a diverse range of topics associated with gender inequality in work and family roles including an analysis of the structural determinants of gender composition of university and college faculties, a longitudinal examination of educational decision-making and its relationship to eventual marriage and fertility rates of young women in Cairo, Egypt (with John Gulick, Carolina Population Center), and a qualitative analysis of the work and family commitment of men and women managers (with Catherine Zimmer, North Carolina State University). Her current work focuses on pedagogy and the impact of social inequality on the teaching and learning process. Dr. Bach is the coordinator of the undergraduate internship program; She developed and teaches SOC 199S, Sociology Internship Seminar. Dr. Bach also teaches SOC 118, Sex, Gender, and Society, SOC 149, Sexuality and Society, and occasionally SOC 110D, Introduction to Sociology. In her leisure time, she enjoys watching women's and men's college basketball, going to movies, and reading mystery novels.
