My goal as a teacher is to empower students, especially those from marginalized backgrounds, to enhance justice in their communities by becoming leaders and citizens engaged across our society's diverse decision-making processes. My experiences teaching at Boston College Law School, Northwestern University and Grinnell College, and, previously, in Chicago Public Schools, have proven to me that students become agents of change in supportive, inclusive environments that encourage rigorous, intellectual inquiry. In my teaching, I create these learning environments by centering students’ voices, ensuring that diverse perspectives are represented in the content of the course, and providing timely, substantive feedback on assignments.
