Teaching

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.

When I am not the Director of the Serie Center for Scholarship and Teaching, I teach Introductory Psychology and Directed Research, as well as a variety of courses focused on the psychological implications of social structure: Psychology of/and Disability, Psychology of Gender, and Lives in Context: Psychology and Social Structure. Syllabi for my current and recent courses are available as sub-pages of this teaching page.
