Teaching Philosophy
Teaching Philosophy
Politics and lived experiences are intertwined, so I encourage students to apply politics to their own experiences. I practice a feminist participatory pedagogy that pushes students to acknowledge their assumptions about themselves and about international politics to promote awareness of the richness and complexity of political issues, cultures, and groups. I aim to lead students to understand the actors and mechanisms in international politics and to develop knowledge and empathy as citizens in a globalized world. My classroom is open and inclusive, and I adapt my teaching techniques to students’ diverse learning styles and backgrounds while cultivating their interest about the world. Furthermore, I design my classes with students’ interests in mind to ground their knowledge in an understanding that politics is embedded in the world around them.
