TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

I teach at the intersection of the social, biological, and ecological sciences with three main aims:

  • Cultivate critical thinking and engagement with current events through the study of inequality
  • Teach professional skills related to research, writing, and speaking
  • Train the next generation of interdisciplinary researchers using immersive experiences

STUDENT REVIEWS

Critical Thinking and Current Events

Immersive Learning to Train Interdisciplinary Researchers

Skills in Public Speaking, Writing and Research

"In this course the professor used current, real-world examples to connect what we were learning in the classroom to what was actually happening in the world, relating to global health and social justice. It gave a better understanding of the intersections of various factors when it comes to health and disease, and how the root cause of an illness is not always just a microbe or parasite.”

- Student at Salve Regina University, 2019


“I really liked the enthusiasm that the professor brought into the class every day. She is clearly both incredibly knowledgeable and incredibly passionate about what she is teaching. The real-world examples and readings related to things currently happening around the globe helped build a more concrete understanding of the concepts we were learning and how they are connected in the real world.”

Skills in Public Speaking, Writing and Research

Immersive Learning to Train Interdisciplinary Researchers

Skills in Public Speaking, Writing and Research

“Through our research proposal assignment, we were encouraged to take a topic or issue that we are passionate about and explore it deeply in order to create a potential solution for a health problem that we see. Not only did this improve both research and writing skills, it also helped us to learn how to explore a problem in such a way that we could come up with solutions, or research methods that could lead to a solution".

- Student at Salve Regina University, 2019


"This course was one of my favorite courses that I had this semester. The class made me step out of my comfort zone, especially in public speaking and my writing, and it challenged me to think outside the box. It encouraged me to think in an anthropological perspective on how researchers can help fix issues around the globe and not just in one place. Amazing class and professor.”

Immersive Learning to Train Interdisciplinary Researchers

“I learned how to write surveys, reach out to stakeholders/professionals, do data analysis, write an actual paper etc. I’m not sure what my career will be, but this course will definitely put me closer to reaching my dream career.”

- Urban Ecology Field Lab Student in 2016


"The program allowed me to really push myself and it fostered my growth. Writing emails, formulating ideas, reaching out to strangers, presenting my work to an audience, and working in an encouraging atmosphere was instrumental to my growth."
