Personal Statement

Personal Statement

My goal is to inspire students to love ideas. I aim to help students find the study of sociology and criminal justice fascinating and relevant to their lives.

Among other topics, I write and teach about the contemporary "culture of misery," including high rates of social isolation, depression, and anxiety; and low rates of emapthy and trust. I also discuss school shootings and the role of gender, including how these massacres magnify the daily gay-bashing, sexual harassment, racial harassment, dating violence, and other forms of bullying students experience everyday across the nation.

I help students examine and practice empathy-building skills that enage compassion, and a confidence in their abilities to constructively impact themselves, their relationships, and society.

I often share my own long-term work experience with empathy-building in New York City public schools where I served for eleven years as a conflict resolution coordinator, college advisor, social worker, teacher, and Acting Assistant Princial of Guidance.

I wrote two books on bullying, The Bully Society: School Shootings and the Crisis of Bullying in America's Schools (NYU Press 2012) and Bullying: A Reference Handbook (ABC-CLIO 2019).

I also founded and direct Creating Compassionate Communities, a bullying prevention/intervention K-12/college program that operates in three NYC public schools.

My pedagogy prioritizes experiential learning. I aim to make sociology and criminal justice, personal.

My assignments often ask students to comment on how the insights gleaned from our work together relate to their lives, including from peer-review and popular texts, documentary and docudrama films, in-class discussions, speakers, group work, research projects, and student and professor-led presentations.

Experiential learning also includes small group-focused activities and dyad/triad practices.

Some of my classes are hybrid: Students are sometimes more willing to relate sociological/criminal justice concepts to their self in society in an online setting. In response to prompt-focused Forums, students discuss academic material and its relationship to their lives. They ask each other questions about their extensive Forum statements, and they respond to one another’s questions –citing texts that are relevant to the discussion.

Critical thinking, information literacy, global/citizenship, raising awareness about gender, race, class, religion, ability, sexuality, and other identities, are almost always components of my classes.

I also focus on building scholarly oral and writing skills. Other than my Freshman classes, my courses give General Education credit in Information Literacy and/or Communication Writing.   

Research Interests

Research Interests

Not different from other forms of perceived supremacy, prejudices against those perceived to have mental health challenges is a debilitating and systemic cultural norm. My research explores social prescriptions, culled from theorists across disciplines, including sociology, criminal justice, philosophy, theology, and psychology, in order to build a more high-functioning civil society.

"Amercian Misery: Capitalism's Culpability and Our New Opiates"-- engages sociological Perspectives on the rising rates of depression, anxiety, social isolation, and the "culture of misery."

My second book, Bullying: A Reference Handbook, (ABC-CLIO 2019) culminates a four-year study of school bullying, including roots in what I call a “culture of misery,” manifesting in an epidemic of social isolation, depression, and anxiety, and dangerously low rates of trust and empathy, at increasingly younger ages and across demographics;

This book discusses my Creating Compassionate Communities K-12 bullying prevention program and other prevention/intervention best practices.

NON-PEER-REVIEWED BLURBS (SAMPLES)

2012: The Bully Society Book Blurb: Liz Murray, author of Breaking Night.

EXCERPTS FROM PEER REVIEW BLURBS:

“Exceptionally readable, abundant examples, and full of salient suggestions for social change; no future discussion of this topic can afford to ignore The Bully Society.” -James W. Messerschmidt, author: Hegemonic Masculinities and Camouflaged Politics

“Taking the horrific rampage school shootings as a starting point, Jessie Klein resists pop-psychology profiling, and instead lets the events ramify outwards, to a searing indictment of the cultures of cruelty, entitlement and indifference in which those acts take place.” -Michael Kimmel, author of Guyland

“This powerful, necessary book shows how the epidemic cruelty of young people generates many of the social problems that are undermining American society. In pondering what it means to be a bully and to be the victim of a bully, Jessie Klein shows why our schools are failing us, explains crimes long viewed as inexplicable, and offers a stunning indictment of laissez-faire attitudes toward children. Her book illuminates a very dark problem, and proposes solutions that, if we are brave enough to adopt them, might be transformative not only in the lives of suffering individuals, but also in the health of the nation. I wish everyone around me had had this book to read when I was bullied as a child.” -Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon

“Jessie Klein has done the biggest thing words can do. Written a book that changed the way I think.” -David Lipsky, author of Absolutely American (Only on Website).

EXCERPTS FROM SOME POPULAR BOOK REVIEWS:

"Written for a diverse audience, this is an important read for higher education as a teaching tool, for training educators in today's schools, and for helping to appropriately respond to the phenomenon of bullying in today's schools. Destined to emerge as an important text."- CHOICE

"A scholarly, insightful commentary on aggression and violence within peer groups....this title is highly recommended for professional shelves and teacher training courses." -VOYA

"The Bully Society is a remarkably accessible book and can be read both by students, teachers, and parents. It is an important tool to use when combating bullying in high schools."- Metapsychology

“After studying the 166 school shootings on record between 1979 and 2009 and interviewing dozens of students, Klein, a former school counselor who now teaches sociology and criminal justice, forms a coherent, heartbreaking narrative of how bullying works.”-The Boston Globe

“The author writes with clarity and compassion… she offers an opportunity for us to examine, discuss and consider the world we have created for our children. -Kirkus Reviews

In this thorough examination of the connection between bullying and three decades of school shootings in America, Adelphi University professor Klein presents a compelling case that the strict gender rules by which American children and teenagers are unfairly forced to live are the driving factors in school violence.” -Publishers Weekly

EXCERPTS FROM POPULAR PRESS BOOK BLURB

“The Bully Society is riveting and powerful—Jessie Klein uncovers the roots of depression, school shootings, and other despair in American schools and offers brilliant and doable solutions. This amazing and hopeful book is a clarion call to all concerned about children; parents, professionals, anyone working with youth should read it. Jessie Klein led the team that helped launch me from being homeless to Harvard University; and she got everyone from my class (from an at-risk public high school) into a 4-year college—most with full scholarships. Surely her book can spearhead a movement for peaceful schools in America and her successes can be replicated. The Bully Society is poignant and timely at a moment when everyone should be listening. Frankly, we can’t afford not to. The stories Klein tells are heartbreaking. She knows what it takes to create compassionate communities where students thrive—and what must be done to dismantle the more common school bully cultures. A must read for everyone who wants to see American students move from a sea of fear, anxiety, and rage to flourish academically, socially, and psychologically. The Bully Society points the way for students (and schools) to develop their full potential.” -Liz Murray, author of Breaking Night (on abbreviated blurb book and full blurb on website).

UNIVERSITY:

2015 to present: Empathy-Building Presentations open to the university:

(Annually Hosted and co-sponsored by the Interfaith Center since 2021 to present--often during October/National Bullying Prevention Month by the Request of the Dean of Students).

      Reiki: With Reiki Master, Jodi Holmes: In peer-reviewed literature, Reiki is shown to reduce anxiety and promote healing. Students are introduced to the practice of Reiki and taught exercises they can use to feel calmer and to connect with one another. 

      Enneagram Explorations: With Internal Family Systems Psychotherapist, Kim Schneiderman: This is an interactive workshop to help deepen students' self-awareness and compassion. The Enneagram developed from multiple faiths (including Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism) and emerged as a psychological system that presents nine different personality types in non-judgmental, non-blaming terms.  

      Kindness Conversations:  With Professional Educator, Fretta Reitzes: In this class, students explore and define the roots of Kindness in their lives and learn about three spheres that call us to kindness- our society; community; and our hearts. 

      Environmental Empathy: With Director/Founder Ilana Schneider Reich, of Globally Clean: Students learn about the environmental impact of using plastic. Students are introduced to practical actions that they can take to preserve the environment; examples of plastic alternatives are distributed. 

      Animal Empathy: With Associate Prof. John Sanbonmatsu, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Humanities & Arts: Prof. Sanbonmatsu discusses his chapter, "Animal of Bad Faith," which suggests that the "hidden" violence against nonhuman animals in the food and clothing industry, is an "identity genocide," not unlike the different forms of genocide people perpetuate against one another, including the holocaust. Prof. Sabonmatsu engages a discussion of civil disobedience and other modes of resistance working to end this objectification and human supremacy.

      Restorative Justice: With Nichole Rowe, University Neighborhood Middle School Counselor and Equity Liaison: Ms. Rowe and her middle school students present on how their school engages Restorative Circles on race, gender, dis(ability) and the individual narrative of each child. Her students teach Adelphi students about why these practices are healing; they also facilitate Restorative Circles with our students.
