Teaching Statement: Interdisciplinary Approach
This teaching statement focuses specifically on my approach to interdisciplinary education in the humanities, distinct from my composition teaching statement which addresses first-year writing instruction.
Philosophy of Interdisciplinary Teaching
This statement is being developed throughout the semester and will explore:
- The value and challenges of interdisciplinary approaches in humanities education
- Strategies for creating meaningful connections across disciplinary boundaries
- Integration of digital humanities and computational methods
- Student-centered approaches to complex, multi-modal learning
- The role of generative AI in interdisciplinary humanities pedagogy
Statement Development
The teaching statement is being refined through course readings, discussion posts, and practical application in syllabus design. It represents a synthesis of theoretical engagement with pedagogical literature and reflective practice.
