Awards:
In the Spring of 2021 and Fall of 2020, I was recognized by UIUC's Center for Teaching and Learning as a teacher ranked as excellent.
As special needs instructor:
From 2011 to 2015, I worked as special primary school instructor for children with a background of immigration or refuge in the course of projects by the Society for Multicultural Children and Youth Support (IFAK e.V.) and the Society for Social Work and Culture (VAKS e.V.).
Pedagogical training:
In Spring 2023, I've taken the UMass Research Mentor Training that implements the curriculum by the National Research Mentoring Network.
Fall 2020, I've participated in UIUC's 5-week Faculty Series on Teaching and Learning, offered by the Center for Innovation in Center and Learning.Â
In the Fall of 2018, I've participated in the Future Faculty Teaching Institute, a 14-week certified training program by USC's Center for Excellence in Teaching, intended to prepare graduate students with training in pedagogy, inclusiveness, and class design for their future work as faculty members.
Philosophical outreach:
In 2024, I'm one of the co-directors of UMass' Question Everything 3-week summer program for high school students from under-funded school districts.
I chaired the student organization team of the GPS California in 2018 and co-organized it in 2019. The GPS California is an undergraduate workshop run by USC graduate students and faculty aimed at building a more inclusive philosophical community.
During graduate school, I've volunteered for the LA chapter of the Corrupt The Youth program, hosted by the Los Angeles LGBT Center, where I co-taught discussion sections on philosophy's 'big questions'.
