Teaching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In each of my classes, I work hard to create a learning environment where, as one of my students put it, \u201cwe can chew on the issue presented” and have the breathing room “to come up with our own practical and impractical solutions.” I incorporate intriguing and important content with interactive lectures, in-class exercises, experiential writing assignments, and thought-provoking exams, drawing upon my broad training in both the natural and social sciences to help students think across disciplinary boundaries. I believe that teaching is an integral part of scholarship and that our work in the classroom is never complete. While my ultimate goal as a teacher is to foster critical thinking, reading, and writing skills, I am a firm believer that intellectual curiosity is a prerequisite to critical engagement and I strive to facilitate an inclusive classroom that makes space for my students to think creatively and take intellectual risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
