Teaching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I believe that education \u201cis not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire.\u201d As a critical political economy scholar, my role as a teacher is to encourage and inspire students to critically think and write about media and social problems, such as the roles of media practices, corporate power, government policies and participatory democracy in informing and shaping (in)justice and (in)equalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a teacher in media and communication, I see teaching as a process of communication. Throughout my teaching practices and interactions with students, I strive to set an example of being a good communicator\u2014effective, passionate, supportive and inclusive. With a multicultural background, I am particularly keen on brining my professional experience and cross-cultural skills to the classroom in building an inclusive, supporting and diverse learning environment and fulfilling students\u2019 individualized needs for education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
