I teach sociology as a way to ask better questions about everyday life, understand how social structures shape our experiences, and connect ideas with the world around us. My approach combines clear explanations, real-world examples, and room to explore, with attention to the different experiences and perspectives students bring with them.
01 / My approach
I break sociological concepts down and connect them to familiar situations, so students can move between theory and practice.
I guide students as they explore questions, examine assumptions, and build their own understanding of social life.
I use technology to create chances for connection and participation, with inclusion and diverse perspectives guiding how it is used.
02 / Teaching in practice
Digital inclusion, AI, social media literacy, and digital well-being are starting points for examining the relationship between technology and society. Students also contribute to Wikipedia as part of the course.
