Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic. After law school, Professor Sokol clerked for Judge Carolyn Dineen King of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

Dean’s work straddles the border between the environmental sciences and science education. In the environmental sciences he focuses on biogeochemistry, climate change and coastal/beach processes in boreal and arctic wetlands as well as in rapidly eroding beach environments such as the barrier islands of the Mississippi delta and coastal Massachusetts. In science education his work focuses on the use of place-based writing and service learning to support geoscience education of undergraduates. He is also involved in the development and assessment of the various science education standards and their impact on the learning of science in K-16 classrooms.  Here’s Dean in action:
