Why I Teach |
Learning to think anthropologically is revelatory for students and helps them develop critical skills for approaching local and global challenges. Both my teaching and research make use of anthropology as a mode of inquiry for exploring the contours of everyday life issues. I often structure my courses as a series of ethnographic questions and support students identifying their respective goals along our collective pathways of discovery.
Foundational to all of my classes are student-centered pedagogies that foster new visions of oneself and the worlds we share. My courses infuse Writing Across the Curriculum principles, which champion writing as an indispensable tool for learning to think. They also incorporate experiential learning methods common within anthropology, including participant observation, ethnographic interviewing, and reflexive analysis.
My teaching philosophy is informed by experiences as a Thinking Matters Fellow at Stanford University and lecturer at the City University of New York, as well as through grassroots advocacy. I approach education through feminist pedagogical values that guide my efforts to provide accessible, critical education and foster an equitable environment for all learners.
