I believe in action teaching and using the classroom as a catalyst for positive social change. I encourage
students to question the motivations behind dominant understandings of reality, in particular those that
devalue certain groups or underestimate their potential. In this regard, I hope to increase social
consciousness and promote empowerment to reject the status quo, freeing students to challenge
themselves in ways that might not have otherwise.
