Social inequalities are often produced and reinforced in educational settings. I believe it is my job as an educator to help disrupt the cycle of inequality in my classroom. My teaching philosophy is centered on three main goals: 1) support students to build a toolset from sociological theories and research methods that can help them understand and navigate the social world; 2) create classrooms inclusive of all students; and 3) build rapport in mentoring.
