Teaching
My teaching philosophy emphasizes active, embodied learning, in which the students take part as creative and engaged participants in not only perceiving the course materials but also in processing, analyzing, and reflecting on the reading materials and writing assignments. This allows them to critically integrate these elements with their research project, current cultural events, and other sources of knowledge. I ask my students to become active, critical, and embodied scholars who, alongside the knowledge and experience I provide and share with them, can offer new frameworks with which to understand our sociocultural world.
