Suzanne St. George Coble, PhD, is an assistant professor at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Suzanne grew up in Northern California, where she completed her bachelors in Psychology and Religious Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. After traveling in Brazil and Europe, teaching English in Italy, and serving at a restaurant, Suzanne returned to school to complete her masters and PhD in Criminology and Criminal Justice at Arizona State University. She also completed a graduate certificate in Gender Studies at Arizona State University. Her research focuses on sexual violence, including theories of perpetration, rape myth acceptance, consent communication, and sexual assault case processing. She also draws on feminist and queer theories and methodologies to explore how intersecting social identities–like race, gender, and sexual orientation–influence perceptions of and responses to sexual violence. More broadly, Suzanne is interested in the interrelationship between social structure and individuals’ attitudes and behavior. Suzanne has experience teaching sex crimes, statistics, research methods, and introduction to criminal justice. As a queer and feminist scholar, Suzanne also is committed to promoting diversity and inclusivity in criminal justice curriculum, research, and practices.
