Teaching

My goal as an educator is to fuel social change and inspire personal growth by fostering students’ conviction in themselves as co-creators of history and knowledge. I encourage students to examine their presuppositions and place in the world, consider the diverse views and values of others – especially their classmates, and hone their problem solving skills by thinking critically. I realize this goal by cultivating a democratic community of inquirers that is intellectually rigorous, experientially relevant, emotionally supportive, and ideally, liberating.
