Miriam Boeri Email and Phone Number

As a sociologist, my aims are to address inequalities in society, advocate for change, and help disadvantaged communities through fund-raising, education, and volunteer coordination. Beyond my role as a professor, I have worked with community organizations and agencies to fund and implement research and programs. I was on the boards of community and academic associations involved in program development, fund-raising and grant-writing initiative. As the project director of large research projects, my administrative responsibilities included maintaining budgets; reporting and communication across agencies; recruitment and training of staff, volunteers and consultants; collaboration with co-investigators and community leaders; organizing and hosting meetings; data management and analysis; and the presentation of papers. I have excellent writing skills as demonstrated by my publications in academic journals, books, community-based newsletters and instructional manuals. I have shown my ability to work on multiple projects concurrently, both independently and in a team environment. As a researcher, I give a high level of attention to detail, in-depth understanding of complexity of social issues, and the maintenance of confidentiality. I have worked on Institutional Review Boards, written numerous proposals, and secured grants from federal, state, and local funding sources. My recent work in applied sociology involves more writing for media sources and working on public initiatives that help reduce social inequalities.
