Keri Brandt Off is a Professor of Sociology & Gender & Sexuality Studies. Her curiosities on and off campus center around how humans, animals, and landscapes co-create shared worlds together, and how these worlds intersect in the context of agriculture and food. She has a deep passion for teaching and working with students. Once a student at Fort Lewis College, her dream was to one day return as faculty, and in 2005 she did just that.
