A feminist, racial justice perspective informs my teaching philosophy. It is assembled by teaching and learning experiences that have allowed me to reach beyond the typical, North American or European academic student. I imagine marginalized and immigrant youth, the elderly, the disabled & neurodivergent, and adults with experiential, more than classroom learning, as my target audiences. In doing so, I have gained invaluable teaching tools and a radically different perspective than the typical training provides. I then apply this perspective to my university classes with the confidence that everyone in attendance has an equal chance of success, and those who engage critically and enthusiastically will always leave with the knowledge they sought.
