Teaching style
My classes are very discussion based and I ask a lot of open ended questions. I believe that literature has something to teach us about the human condition.
My philosophy of teaching history is that everyone has a story, and behind every law, policy or statistic is a human life that has been touched by that. I also believe in the importance of elevating voices and experiences that have traditionally been marginalized.
