Teaching Philosophy
“My role is to facilitate skills and opportunities for students to explore their interests.  No matter the specific course subject, I believe sociology has something to interest everyone. It is about developing a way of thinking about the world – seeing how the self and society influence each other — that can be applied to many things. I encourage students to reflect and follow wherever their curiosity leads.”

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
“Anyone who has grown up in the presence of other humans has grown up in a psychology laboratory.  One thing I try to do in my courses is to help students recognize that and learn to look around and see what they might be able to learn from their fellow humans.”

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
“The theme of many of my classes is critical thinking.  My area – psychology – attracts a lot of nonsense, and my goal is for students to think critically about claims involving psychology.  Second, I work to get students involved in class.  If you’re the kind of person who likes to be part of the action, I hope you’ll join us.”
