072 Susan Stall: Advocacy for Community Development

September 23, 2020

Susan Stall highlights transformative experiences that shaped her path as a


Community Sociologist and advocate for women’s equity and empowerment and grass-roots


community development. While on the faculty at Northeastern Illinois University, Susan taught


multi-disciplinary courses such as Gender and the Built Environment, and directed student


service learning and internships in local communities. In ‘retirement,’ Susan serves as President


of Arbor West Neighbors, engaging older people in community issues such as creative housing


options. Most recently, Susan promotes talking across generations about racial injustice. She


also hosts a Salon on Women & Aging, recognizing that “aging is a big passage.”


 


"I am most interested in the invisible actions in communities that are transformative." - Susan Stall, Ph.D.
