I care about how people take part, whose experiences are included or excluded and why, and what we choose to share with others. In my courses, students learn from one another’s experiences and ideas, ask questions together, and take part in decisions. Listening to different interpretations also gives students opportunities to reconsider their own understanding. I describe my approach through four ideas: learning together, voice and agency, shared inquiry, and dialogue. The four course cards below show how I put my approach into practice at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I teach three courses each semester.
