I believe in leveraging the experiential knowledge and wisdom students bring with them to higher education settings. This involves centering student voices in the classroom, encouraging critical thought, and applying theory to practice. I approach my teaching from a power, privilege, and oppression framework that includes: (a) an analysis of whose voices are heard and valued, (b) critique of what "counts" as knowledge, (c) deconstruction of how whiteness pervades accepted knowledge and practices, and (d) how interlocking systems create and maintain inequality.
