Teaching Statement:  Ubuntu:  Our collective humanity.  The idea that I can’t be all I can be unless the students in my class are all that they can be.  My classroom will be a space where every student belongs and where instructors and students work together to create an environment that is thoughtful and respectful.  Every student will be challenged and supported so that they can become all that they can be.
