EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY
My approach to education stands on the philosophical framework introduced by bell hooks (1994) in her groundbreaking work “Teaching to Transgress: Education as Freedom”. I believe “education is the practice of freedom” (hooks, 1994, p. 4); therefore, I encourage the co-construction of knowledge and seek to empower students to bring their perspective to the academy. I believe in modeling vulnerability and seek to create an environment built on equity and respect.
