Carol Rambo is Associate Professor of Sociology. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Florida in 1993. Her primary research interests include exotic dancing, childhood sexual abuse, incest, and mentally disabled parenting. Her articles on these topics have appeared in journals such as the Journal of Contemporary Ethnography, Deviant Behavior, Journal of Aging Studies, and Mental Retardation. In collaboration with several students, some of her current research analyzes life history narratives of adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. In addition she is exploring the possibilities for alternative writing formats in academia through the Autoethnography Project.  See sample articles on this website for examples of her "Layered Account" technique.
