DR. RACHEL HAGUES, ROCK International General Secretary
Rachel Hagues is an Assistant Professor in Social Work at Samford University where she teaches courses on Human Rights, Social Justice, and Community and Global Development. Her research goals center around providing voice to vulnerable populations and confronting oppression. Her desire is to see redemption brought to the lives of the most vulnerable. For the last several years she has been collaborating with a local church in a remote community in Tanzania with women and girls. Her dissertation looked at gender discrimination issues in that community. As a result of that work, she and a small team are currently partnering with community members to establish a private secondary school for girls. Hagues is an avid runner and can appreciate a good race. She and her husband love discovering the world with their two young daughters.
