Bio summary

Educators are most successful when we work with students long enough to get them to do what we do — but better. Whether students pursue work around issues related to my particular areas of specialty is unimportant. What is important is ensuring students know how to ask questions, contextualize issues, and access relevant and reliable information in order to inform their opinions and professional and academic work. I teach students, at all levels, how to navigate the process of becoming an academic and professional. This means helping students understand how to ask meaningful questions, locate those questions within a larger body of literature or contemporary ideas, and find ways to answer their questions.
