Professional profile
My professional interests focus on history, pedagogy, and equality of education and I am passionate about world issues of social inequality.

As a professor, lectures and class discussions are very important aspects of my teaching. However, I most enjoy working with my students in a small group setting and the observing their performance-based assignments such as group presentations, debates, and student teaching. In particular, the debates in my general education course (GS12-Social Inequalities) are always an enjoyable experience. During the debates, I can definitely see the comprehensive outcome of the students; accumulated knowledge and their learning experience from lectures, reading assignments, films, guest speakers, and small group discussions. It is very exciting to see how well they are able to showcase their understanding.

As a result of taking my classes, whether it is my general education course or pre-student teaching practicum, I would like my students to deepen their interest in the subject matter that I teach. In order for teaching and learning to take place, we need to build a relationship based on trust and a commitment to learning. I work very hard to create a climate in which students are free to ask questions, disagree, or express their own ideas and views, and I want my students to actively participate in class.
