TEACHING SUMMARY

In my pedagogy and curriculum, I strive to hold a space for and embody two principles: critical pragmatism and pluralistic humanism. Critical pragmatism embraces the unceasing nature of learning through experience and enfolds questioning the values driving education while also working towards possibilities that are yet imagined. Pluralistic humanism is a value that respects all others beings' journeys of living and understanding as much as one value's their own life and learning journey and does so with open-mindedness, warm-heartedness, and responsibility.
