I am Dr. Gina Carreno-Lukasik, University Instructor of Sociology at Florida Atlantic University. I have taught at FAU since 2002. I regularly teach Sociological Perspectives, Human Sexuality and Social Change, and also Animals and Society. In my classes I strive to introduce students to the basic concepts within sociology and its subfields, help students use their sociological imagination to analyze current social problems as well as examine their own lives, and develop their critical thinking as well as verbal and written communication skills. In short, I hope that my courses not only introduce students to the discipline of sociology but also help them become more informed and empathic human beings. I have received an Excellence and Innovation in Undergraduate Teaching Award, and I am involved in student life in many ways including mentoring students through Honors Compacts. Outside of FAU, I cherish spending time with my daughter Natalia and our rescue cats Princess and Jolly and Luca.
