Dr. Kenneth Laundra is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Millikin University and has taught sociology for the past 20+ years at several universities across the country, both public and private (1999-2023).
He teaches a variety of courses, including Criminology, Deviance, Popular Culture, Environmental Sociology, Sociological Analysis, and introductory courses in sociology. His published work includes research on racial bias in standardized testing, gender differences in delinquency, illegal dumping on public lands, restorative justice, and a book on delinquency in rural America.
In Fall 2021, Dr. Laundra took a research sabbatical to Ukraine where he researched restorative justice practices in Ukraine and taught a Deviant Behavior class for students in the Department of Sociology at Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, in Kyiv. Professor Pavlo Fedorchenko-Kutuyev, Chair of KPI’s Department of Sociology, and Dr. Laundra have since formalized the collaborative relationship between KPI and Millikin University and continue to collaborate on various teaching and learning platforms, involving both students and faculty in their respective departments. Dr. Laundra also continues his ‘performance learning’ project in Environmental Sociology, where students are revitalizing abandoned lots in the distressed neighborhood of Torrence Park, in Decatur, Illinois.
