Biography

In my role as a faculty development affiliate, I look forward to working with colleagues who are interested in becoming more inclusive educators. I have always been passionate about enacting social justice in scholarship and teaching. My goal is to create spaces of inclusion and empowerment for all students. To do this, I draw upon rich bodies of scholarship such as: inclusive pedagogy, feminist pedagogy, critical race pedagogy, transgressive education, and transformative learning. A related area of interest for me is the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL)—especially the scholarship of social justice teaching and learning. Thus, in addition to serving as a resource for inclusive teaching, I am happy to chat with colleagues about conducting socially just and inclusive SoTL.
