Teaching

My teaching philosophy is to encourage students to critically analyze the social forces that shape people’s life chances. I present students with key sociological theories and push them to see the relevance of these concepts in their own lives and in the lives of other communities. I am also dedicated to teaching students the practice of sociology. I believe that research gives students the tools to examine social issues and puzzles that interest them. It has been rewarding for me to see students learn sociology and sometimes change their perspectives on the world. In addition to my courses, I mentor undergraduate and graduate students on their research.
