Providing inclusive, experiential, project-oriented educational opportunities
I have a decade of experience teaching in diverse settings from Social Studies courses in urban high schools in St. Louis and Albuquerque to teaching Latin American history to first generation college students at UC-Davis. More recently, at USC I taught a course applying digital methods to Latin America history, in which students applied Python to quantitative data and digital text analysis, and in the creation of data visualizations. At Dartmouth, I am teaching courses at different scales: from a history course on the Andes to another applying digital mapping and a place-based approach to local history. Drawing on these experiences, three principles guide my instruction: the developmental view of education, experiential education and the Teacher-Scholar model, and the embrace of diversity (in all its forms) toward the creation of an inclusive pedagogy.
