I am proud to collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of researchers and instructors at 51±¾É« on a the project "Instructor Capacity for Equity and Belonging in the Classroom". Additionally, I am interested in exploring the efficacy of intra- and inter-team competition (and other mechanisms) as a pedagogical tool, leadership development trajectories, and several other areas.

I believe that teaching, like learning and leadership, is an iterative and dynamic process. Every year, and semester, in every course, each and every student brings their unique characteristics to the classroom. And so, it is incumbent upon us, as teachers and leaders to also be students; to learn from others and our own experiences to improve our pedagogy. The recognition that I am both a leader and a learner is central to my teaching philosophy: I believe that as a leadership educator, I am in the unique position to practice what I preach, or as Kouzes and Posner (2012) describe in their seminal book, to model the way. I believe that leadership can and should be accessible to everyone and thus it is my moral obligation and distinct pleasure to take a student-centred approach to teaching, so that I can meet students where they are, and nourish their learning spirit (Battiste, 2013).
