Learning is a series of conversations between students and scholars, between students and one another, and between students and the communities they exist in. Teaching students to effectively enter these conversations requires reflecting on our relationships to power, place, and history. As an instructor, I work closely with students to assess where they are at and provide the necessary context for them to engage with materials and data, give and receive feedback, think critically with others, and situate contemporary social problems within broader contexts. My record of teaching has been awarded with a Department Teaching Award from the Department of Sociology at the University of Virginia.
From April to October 2024, I will serve as senior faculty in the the NEH funded institute "Health Humanities: Dismantling Structural Injustice in Healthcare" at Johns Hopkins University. This course is designed to equip health practitioners to understand and address structural injustices in health and medicine using the health humanities.
