I strive to foster intellectual engagement by training students to identify and discover solutions to social problems. My pedagogical approach is centered on equipping students to use sociological theory to deconstruct real-world challenges and develop effective tools for argumentation that enables positive change. I am prepared to teach specialized courses in environment, race and ethnicity, development, and economy, as well as courses in introductory sociology, theory and research methods.
