Dr. Foster currently teaches, both on campus and over the Internet (distance learning), SOC 122 (Introduction to Sociology) and SOC 125 (Social Problems).
In his on-campus classes, Dr. Foster combines lecture with class and small-group discussions. Emphases are placed on the social construction of groups and societies and, especially in his Social Problems course, on the deconstruction, or elimination, of political, economic, and social oppression. His classes are constructed to promote structured dialogue.
