Teaching

Teaching is the central focus of my professional life. From my earliest teaching experiences in China to the classes I now run in Europe and the United States, working with students has been a continual source of personal and professional inspiration.

My role as a teacher is to:

• facilitate focused, analytical engagement

• establish and challenge frameworks for understanding information

• create knowledge in partnership with the students

• foster an environment of curiosity, empathy and philosophical imagination
