Just in case my 21-page CV might lead you to believe that a sociologist who 1st taught Justice and the Poor: Issues of Race, Class, and Gender in 2012, with a decade of experience as a therapist in community mental health, academia, etc. might make me employable, you would be wrong: bit.ly/CVforKKJ
