Teaching
I believe the best teaching creates an atmosphere where students can not only further their development as writers and thinkers but become engaged critics, and contributors, to culture. In this spirit, I centre my students’ understanding of the role of media and communication in society, bolstering them with exercises and texts that help further hone their creative and critical skills.
