What is the core of your teaching philosophy in one sentence? 

The anti-racist and anti-oppressive philosophy behind my culturally-responsive engaged pedagogy contextualizes teaching and learning, both for me and my students, through a community learning model with a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion as core values.
