Teaching

I believe that research and teaching are complementary fundamentals of my profession. This is not just because of the many times in which ideas for research projects emerged from a particularly effective class discussion that I had with my students but also because my engagement in research has had a significant influence on my development as a scholar and on my understanding of the discipline, including its limitations, attributes which I believe have also made me a better teacher.

I feel grateful for the opportunity to work with students and to help them to develop the intellectual, cognitive, and analytical skills that are so important for their ability to maximize their potential as engaged citizens.
