Teaching Philosophy and Experience

“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
—John Dewey, Education and Experience, 239

My main aims as an instructor are: (i) to create engagement and incentives that empower students in developing skills in reading, thinking, and writing clearly about arguments, evidence, and ideas; and (ii) to produce an inclusive and congenial classroom atmosphere that supports the aim of learning.
