PhD Virginia A. Batchelor

Virginia A. Batchelor is a Professor of Education at Medaille College. She has always expressed a desire to improve upon living and learning experiences of children. The Division of Education (a teacher education preparation program) provides a forum for her social activism.

Dr. Batchelor touches generations of future teachers by cultivating and fostering culturally responsive learning experiences. She is committed to preparing student educators to better understand their role as agents of positive change in the lives of children and adolescents.

Dr. Batchelor has published several articles. Over the past three years, she has co-authored publications specifically focused on domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST), a social anomaly that threatens and destroys young lives. DMST is a growing problem in the United States that begs to be exposed and brought to the attention of socially conscious citizens and policy-makers. To that end, the author intends to promote awareness of DMST and provide support for children and adolescents whose innocence has been stolen.
