Embedded Files
Welcome!
Thank you for taking the time to review my tenure portfolio. The site is organized as follows:
Introduction: I say a little bit about my path to becoming a Philosophy Instructor at Edmonds College.
Personal Statement: I share my CV, Teaching Philosophy, and Self-Evaluation.
Teaching Portfolio: I share course materials and the results of my teaching evaluations.
Letters of Support: I share letters from students, colleagues, and collaborators.
You can also find links to these sections at the top right or top left of your screen, or under the images at the bottom of your screen.
Teaching as Translation
I think of teaching as translation. How do I translate the language, ideas, and disciplinary norms of philosophy into what’s recognizable, familiar, and accessible to the newcomer? And how do I make philosophy’s questions and subject matter relevant to my students’ lives and their concerns? Finally, how do I make philosophy alive and participatory?
I approach philosophy as a garden that my students and I cultivate together, one that reflects our unique attributes as a class.
