🔻 A girl and her Mom. Bricklyn and her Mother both teach at the same University

Michele has provided this for me “Bricklyn and I both studied at University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and now both teach/lecture there. Bricklyn’s degree is in Justice and Legal Studies, with a minor in Sociology. She teaches several courses in Criminology and Legal/Justice Studies, and has recently co-authored a chapter in a Criminology textbook.

We both teach an introductory course in Communication Studies, preparing students for the requirements of academic research, writing and presentations.

My degree is a Bachelor of Arts, with a double major in Politics & International Relations and Communication Studies. I mostly teach/lecture classes in Politics and Sociology. However, I also teach in the Tertiary Preparation Program (designed for those who want to start university but have not graduated high school or who haven’t studied for a long time)”
