关于

在2021年加入Mount Mercy之前，莱西Ritter博士在北卡罗来纳州温盖特大学（Wingate University）协助教授社会学和性别研究。

While at Wingate University, Dr. Ritter co-created a medical sociology emphasis, several public health undergraduate and graduate programs, and the Collaborative for the Common Good—an interdisciplinary group focused on improving well-being in Eastern Union County, North Carolina. She also served on a variety of communities, received Mentor Medallions, and served as an honorary coach for the women’s basketball teams each semester for three years.

Most notably, Dr. Ritter has several peer-reviewed articles such as “The Dating Game: Teaching Students about Social Location” and “Sexual Orientation, Internal Migration, and Mental Health during the Transition to Adulthood.” She has also been involved in the publications of books, from “Ok Boomer” to “Marriage & Health: The Well-Being of Same-Sex Couples.” Her first authored book was, “Sexual Deviance in Health and Aging: Uncovering Later Life Intimacy (Breaking Boundaries: New Horizons in Gender & Sexualities).”

2010年，Ritter博士毕业于北爱荷华大学，获得社会学与人类学学士学位。 她于2012年在明尼苏达州曼卡托的明尼苏达州立大学获得社会学硕士学位，并专注于大学教学。 随后，她于2014年在佛罗里达州立大学获得硕士学位，并于2017年获得社会学博士学位，重点是健康与老龄化。

在Mount Mercy， Ritter博士很高兴能教授社会学导论、社会问题、社会学理论、社会研究方法、性别研究导论和社会运动与革命。 She loves everything about her field, but has a primary interest in aging and health—particularly gerontology and end-of-life as well as sexuality and sexual health. 她主要研究成年初期，偶尔也喜欢关注更大群体中的越轨行为。 她最欣赏社会学的一点是，她可以自由地学习各种各样的话题。

里特博士在爱荷华州的格林出生和长大，她和她的六个兄弟姐妹、五个侄女和一个侄子一起度过了很多时间。 她很喜欢她的小狗Abraxos，它也是爱荷华州本地人。 此外，她还是一个戏剧迷，在佛罗里达州立大学毕业那年，她曾在剧院唱歌和表演。 Her favorite holiday is Halloween—as she appreciates all things “spooky”—and enjoys traveling, yoga, reading anything she can get her hands on.
