As a professor, I strive to offer students opportunities to engage with new ideas (or re-think familiar ones), develop their own thoughts and perspectives, support the thinking of their classmates, write, and be connected to others who share a desire to learn about a topic of common interest. The capacity to think critically, ask questions, and adopt new perspectives is critical for the advancement of human liberation and our collective capacity to sustain life on our planet; for me, therefore, teaching is a form of engagement with, and (I hope) advancement of, social justice.
