Teaching
I have contributed to the scholarship of teaching and learning through publishing a teaching advice column and a course activity in ASA's TRAILS (Teaching Resources and Innovation Library for Sociology). I am currently working on a teaching-related research project with my advisor, Dr. Tanya Golash-Boza, and two undergraduate students. Dr. Golash-Boza received a grant from the CETL to developed videos for each chapter of her textbook, Race and Racisms: A Critical Approach. We are testing the videos with students to see how effective the videos are in helping students remember and understand what was taught compared to reading text.
I have served as a teaching assistant since my sophomore year in college where I graded quizzes, updated data in PowerPoint slides, and read research on feminist and critical pedagogy. In my Master’s program, I participated in a two-year Teacher Training program that involved group mentoring sessions with graduate students and instructors, hands-on experience as a teaching assistant, and a semester long pedagogy course called Teaching Sociology Seminar. I took an additional pedagogy course called Preparing for College Teaching Certificate Course. At UCM’s Center for Engaged Teaching and Learning, I have also earned three teaching certificates and serve as an Instructional Intern.
I would like to teach the Sociology of Race and Ethnicity, Sociology of Immigration, Research Methods, the Sociology of the Family, and Latina/o Sociology. I employ feminist and critical pedagogy in the classroom and would love to further develop these and other related teaching techniques.
