My teaching philosophy emphasises the integration of critical pedagogies and reflective practices. Reflectivity focuses on understanding the conditions of knowledge production, positionality of knowledge, and the importance of recognizing diversity. By incorporating reflective practices in teaching, both students and educators become more aware of the societal factors that shape particular worldviews. I encourage students to think critically and reassess the conventional perspectives on international relations. For sample syllabus and my teachiing portfolio, please contact me.
