In an increasingly polarized world, where students often encounter social and political life through digital environments that encourage categorical thinking and discourage sustained deliberation, I see the classroom as an alternative space for meaningful and constructive engagement with political conflict. I encourage students to engage with competing perspectives, explore multiple interpretations of texts and historical events, connect theoretical ideas to lived experiences, and develop independent analytical voices. My teaching emphasizes dialogue, critical reflection, and openness to diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives as essential resources for collective learning.
