Becki Ross arrived at UBC in 1995, and for the past 10 years, she has developed teaching and research interests in the areas of: qualitative/historical methods, the sociology and history of sexualities, feminist/gender/anti-racist theory, critical sport studies, and the sociology of “the family.” She teaches WMST 325: “Feminist Qualitative Methods of Research and Inquiry”, and WMST 326: “The Politics of Gender, Families, and Nation-Making,” as well as SOCI 369: “The Sociology of Sexualities”, SOCI 383: “Historical Methods”, and SOCI: “Qualitative Methods for Historical Sociology”. She is working on a book-length study of female burlesque and striptease in postwar Vancouver, 1945-1980, and another book of essays on queer culture in the 21st century entitled, Shaken & Stirred. In 2005, Becki was nominated by Women’s Studies and Anthropology/Sociology for a Killam Teaching Award. With Lisa Loutzenheiser, Becki is co-chair of Critical Studies in Sexuality (CSIS).
