About
As a scholar-educator committed to Carroll's mission and Catholic social teaching, I strive to cultivate a collective learning environment where students are encouraged to make critical connections between literary and cultural analysis and lived experiences outside of the classroom. Thus, I use a wide variety of texts and media -- including sociological and historical texts, films and other visual media, comics and graphic novels, and performance texts -- to foster interdisciplinary learning and experiential engagement in my classes. I appreciate the intellectual curiosity and multiple perspectives that students bring to our discussions, and I view the classroom as a collaborative space where we engage together with a wide variety of literary, media, and cultural texts.
