Courses taught:
Background:
Teaching philosophy:
"Teaching students from such different professional and national backgrounds has been a challenge and an opportunity. The challenge comes from engaging with many different backgrounds and experiences, all the while attempting to keep us operating within the same intellectual space. Students coming from all over the world also bring cultural and social ‘selves’ to classroom discussions that are enriching and enlivening. As an instructor, I cannot imagine a more rewarding classroom experience."
