Teaching Philosophy
Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy places a strong emphasis on active learning and interdisciplinarity. I am interested in creating lasting learning experiences by allowing students to actively construct knowledge. In a philosophical context, this means that I do not just teach philosophy but facilitate students learning to do philosophy. In addition, I aim to make what I teach more relevant and applicable by facilitating connectins to other fields of knowing.
