Teaching Philosophy

Students should graduate with a keen understanding of—and desire to participate in—the collective project of building inclusive, just, peaceful, and sustainable societies.
Cristina Escrigas, former Executive Director of the Global University Network for Innovation (GUNi),
writing for the Great Transition Initiative in June 2016 |
In every class I teach, my goal is that students leave having emerged through a transformational learning experience with a clearer sense of how they can contribute to building a better world. Through authentic conversations, hands-on experiences, and interaction with scientific and popular content, students in my courses gain the hard and soft skills that are crucial to navigating our complex, uncertain, yet full-of-possibilities world.
