Teaching Philosophy

The classroom is an environment in which gendered, classed, sexualized, and racialized practices are salient. I believe academics and researchers must consider the ways they share and create knowledge in the classroom, as the classroom is a reflexive space for knowledge production. While I have taught primarily theory, policy, and quantitative methods courses, I aim to practice a critical education pedagogy for higher education, informed by bell hooks, Paolo Freire, WEB Du Bois, and Anna Julia Cooper. In my classrooms, I hope to co-create learning experiences that enable students to engage with course material through practical applications.
