Story-Based Teaching

I integrate diverse first-person narrative formats into my teaching. First-person stories are valuable because they provide direct perspectives and evoke the emotions tied to those experiences. As such, I have developed teaching methods that introduce students to various forms of first-person narratives, such as small group activities, autoethnography, and cultural resources to encourage engagement with colorful stories. 

 

Through active engagement with these stories, I have identified three key teaching goals:
(1) enhancing students' interdisciplinary skills to critically analyze everyday issues;
(2) fostering emotional resonance across diverse social contexts;
(3) encouraging students to transform class lessons into personal, actionable tools for social justice.
