TEACHING & LEARNINg
|
My work is dedicated to exploring the multiple, varied, and interconnected ways that we all make meaning in this increasingly digitized world-–multimodally, multilinguistically, transmodally, translinguistically. Central to such an exploration is understanding how we teach and learn from each other in ways that challenge the teacher/student dichotomy and value all the resources that we all bring to bear in our educational experiences. This philosophy informs my practice as an instructor and researcher of undergraduate and graduate courses. |
