I teach courses focused on diversity and media. In my diversity course, we explore different ideas of acceptance, tolerance, and coexistence in the United States. The students critically analyze texts and events to better understand classifications of race, gender, education, and social class. In my media and society course, the students analyze the effects that technology (internet/computer, telephone, and television) have on our current society.
What I most enjoy about teaching at Grand Valley is the opportunity to increase students' level of critical analysis. We take texts, videos, and events and relate them to real world experiences. We then bring those experiences back to class to gain diverse and well rounded perspectives of our society.
