Students in my courses develop:
My approach to teaching sociology centers on creating dialogic spaces where critical thinking flourishes through meaningful engagement with complex social issues. I view the classroom as a collaborative environment where diverse perspectives enhance our understanding of social structures and power dynamics.
Drawing on my cross-cultural research in gender studies, I encourage students to examine the intersection of personal experience with broader societal patterns. By integrating theory with real-world applications, I help students develop analytical frameworks to address social inequality, particularly regarding gender, culture, and immigration experiences.
I am committed to mentoring emerging scholars through hands-on research opportunities that foster both intellectual growth and professional development. My teaching emphasizes the ethical dimensions of sociological inquiry, preparing students to become thoughtful practitioners and advocates for social justice in an increasingly interconnected world.
My door remains open beyond classroom hours, as I believe meaningful learning often happens in those one-on-one conversations where students can explore their scholarly interests and professional aspirations.
