Speaking and Workshops

I give talks and workshops on teaching and learning in higher education, particularly on emerging challenges facing educators and practical approaches to teaching in today’s classrooms. My talks explore how teaching practices can ease faculty burden, shape student engagement, and facilitate belonging. Here is a sample of recent talks:

​

From the Socratic Method to AI: How Questions Drive Student Learning

• How to design learning around questions AI cannot answer, using diagnostic questioning, peer inquiry, and meaningful assignments that promote engagement, belonging, and deeper learning.

​

• Rethinking the dominance of metrics and efficiency in higher education and exploring how doing less can create more meaningful impact in teaching and learning.

​
