Philosophy

I approach my position as an instructor as one of world-making: I believe my role is to inspire critical thinking and learning that stretches beyond the classroom by cultivating curiosity, collaboration, and passion for sociological and criminological topics. I draw on theory from Paulo Freire, bell hooks, and L. Dee Fink as foundations for my pedagogical praxis. I aim to inspire students to become lifelong learners that can critically consider, discuss, and write about real-world situations and events. I do so by setting high expectations, challenging students, and promoting significant learning by creating an inclusive environment and incorporating engaged, active, and team-based educational practices.
