Author Biography

David Rohall (de-rohall@wiu.edu), received his Ph.D. in 2000 from University of Maryland-College Park, and is now Associate Professor of Sociology at Western Illinois University. In addition to general courses in sociology, Dr. Rohall teaches courses in sociological social psychology, identity, and socialization.

Much of her recent work examines family and school contexts of children’s and adults’ mental health.
