Career

Academic

In 1967, Krieglstein received her Bachelor of Science from Mundelein College. She went on to receive her Master of Social Work in 1970 from University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and later returned to receive her Ph.D. in social work from UIC's Jane Addams College of Social Work in 2002. [1] Prior to receiving her Ph.D., she taught part-time as an adjunct professor with the College of DuPage. [2] In 1997, during her Ph.D. studies, Krieglstein accepted a full-time teaching position at Aurora University's George Williams College of Social Work. [3] [4] [5] She spent several years at Aurora University before accepting an associate professorship with the human services department at the College of DuPage. Later, Krieglstein became coordinator of the human service program, [6] and retired in 2013 with a Professor Emeritus position at the college. [7] As Coordinator of the Human Services Program at COD, Krieglstein helped build a partnership between COD and Edward Hines, Jr., VA Hospital with the goal of facilitating integration between the college's veterans training program and the hospital's veterans health services. This partnership helped COD to become the first community college to receive the Governor’s Award for Excellence in Education by the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs in 2012. [7] [8] Additionally during Krieglstein's leadership, the Human Services Program won the college's first Center of Excellence award, a $150,000 grant awarded by the college president to a COD program that stands out among other College of DuPage academic entities as well as among other national programs. [9] [10] Krieglstein has two published journal articles on her research into heterosexism in school social work and one co-authorship on the effects of welfare reform on domestic violence. [5] [11] [12] She also authored a text book chapter entitled "Heterosexism and Social Work: An Ethical Issue". [13]

Community organizer

Krieglstein has worked with a wide range of communities in her various professional roles. In the mid nineties, she was the Coordinator of Sexual Assault Services for the YWCA of DuPage county. [14] [15] While teaching at the College of DuPage, she organized the yearly Child Abuse/Sexual Assault Awareness Fair, Domestic Violence Awareness Fair and local Take Back the Night event. [16] [17] Her work with domestic violence also included a longterm relationship with the homeless and domestic violence shelter Family Shelter Services, as well as the Hamdard Center which serves Chicago's South Asian and Middle Eastern communities. [18] The College of DuPage was the venue for the annual Friendship Powwow, coordinated by Krieglstein and co-hosted by the American Indian Center in Chicago, which brought together upwards of "30 different Native American tribes, including the Sioux, Navajo, and Oneida". [19] Additionally, Krieglstein's work with Native American peoples included the formation of the American Indian Interest Group with fellow COD professors. The interest group's goal was to develop public activities that would raise awareness of American Indians living in the Chicago area. [20] [21] In 2007, she worked as the local organizer for the Coalition of Immokalee Workers' protest against McDonald's, headquartered in nearby Oak Brook, Illinois. [22] Krieglstein secured the college's theater as a rally point for the protest, however, McDonald's reached an agreement with the workers just days before the event so the protest was turned into a strategy conference and victory celebration. [23]

In addition to her organizer work, Krieglstein was a founding board member for the LGBT advocacy group Youth Outlook [24] and sat on the advisory council for Family Shelter Services. [25]

[26] In 1990, Krieglstein moved with her family to Glen Ellyn, Illinois, home to the College of DuPage where she later became a professor and Coordinator of the Human Services Program.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Domestic violence</span> Abuse of members of the same household

Domestic violence is violence or other abuse that occurs in a domestic setting, such as in a marriage or cohabitation. Domestic violence is often used as a synonym for intimate partner violence, which is committed by one of the people in an intimate relationship against the other person, and can take place in relationships or between former spouses or partners. In its broadest sense, domestic violence also involves violence against children, parents, or the elderly. It can assume multiple forms, including physical, verbal, emotional, economic, religious, reproductive, or sexual abuse. It can range from subtle, coercive forms to marital rape and other violent physical abuse, such as choking, beating, female genital mutilation, and acid throwing that may result in disfigurement or death, and includes the use of technology to harass, control, monitor, stalk or hack. Domestic murder includes stoning, bride burning, honor killing, and dowry death, which sometimes involves non-cohabitating family members. In 2015, the United Kingdom's Home Office widened the definition of domestic violence to include coercive control.
