My primary aim as teacher is to help students learn to think critically.  Developing a truly critical perspective often requires unlearning much of what we (think we) know.  Unlearning entails challenging our beliefs and assumptions, confronting our fears and biases, and entertaining new and sometimes uncomfortable ideas.  It requires courage, hard work, a sense of humor, and – most of all – humility before the immense diversity and complexity of our world.  To learn more, click on the links below.
