Three Pillars
I believe in the power of education to inspire action that promotes social justice and transformation. This belief stands on three pillars: Civic Engagement, Equity & Access, and International Perspectives.
Civic EngagementCivic Engagement empowers individuals to critically examine the role they play in society and to recognize the ability they have to affect change.

Equity & AccessA focus on Equity & Access allows researchers and practitioners to recognize gaps in education policies and practices and to advocate for those marginalized by the current status quo.

International PerspectivesInternational Perspectives provide insight into the issues that affect societies around the world and a recognition of the importance of cooperation in our globalized society.
