Teaching philosophy

My goal as an instructor is to empower students with the skills they need to use scientific evidence to critically evaluate the world around them and to pursue the questions, interests, and goals that matter to them. I describe my teaching philosophy as centered around principles of inclusivity (building a course that is welcoming and affirming to students with a variety of backgrounds, identities, access needs, and experiences) and responsiveness (adapting my teaching in response to to students’ goals, interests, feedback, and contributions).

You can find some a selection of course syllabi and assignments below.
