TEACHING
I teach telecommunications and information policy courses for both graduate and undergraduate students. The policy class is one of the few at the school where learning takes place through readings from multiple disciplines and class discussions. One of my key objectives is to foster critical thinking. My goal is to help students become more comfortable expressing and supporting their opinions, as I believe that their intellectual skills will develop through this practice. I enjoy interacting with students in a classroom setting. It is fulfilling to have the opportunity to help them analyze and critique an issue to then formulate alternative policy solutions. It is fun to think of new ways to make the class entertaining while supporting different learning styles.
I am currently developing a new course entitled "The future of work." that will teach students how to evaluate the features of information technology that transform work, examine how tools and skills are changing because of information technology in different work settings and then help them develop a personal strategy for continued employability, considering the greater reliance on technologies such as AI and robots.
In 2008 I received the Jeffrey Katzer Professor of the Year award. You can read my speech at convocation here
