Teaching

My teaching philosophy is shaped within the framework of the university’s mission. I see education as an instrument of social change which can be harnessed to create “a sustainable, healthy and socially just future”.

My approach is student centred. I focus on the collaborative nature of learning and try to act as a convener rather than driving the class through a lecture style format. I encourage questioning, sense-making, diversity and use a variety of activities that stimulate active processing. I implement research-based practices in my teaching combining my knowledge about the subject, research findings and current outputs from other researchers.
