Sarah Todd

In her imagination Sarah Todd owns a small sandwich
shop with a large garden in which she can dig in the dirt all
year long. In reality she teaches community practice in the
school of social work at Carleton University. Before becoming
an academic she worked in a variety of community based
agencies in Southern Ontario and continues to be involved in
the Ottawa community. She loves working with students and
the challenge of bringing community work to life in the
classroom.

Sarah works from a feminist perspective, while exploring
what post-structuralism can contribute to efforts for social
change. She has had the privilege of working with community
activists in the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua and is
continually intrigued to realize how much there still is for her
to learn about communities and social change.

Right now she is planning a leave from teaching as she is
expecting her first child who she hopes will love digging
around in the garden as much as she and her dogs do.
