I am a Lecturer at the Yehuda Elkana Center for Teaching, Learning, and Higher Education Research, where I design and teach courses and facilitate workshops for doctoral students and faculty at CEU and partner institutions. I focus on themes related to inclusive teaching, research-enriched teaching, and technology-enhanced learning. I also lead and coordinate mentorship of Global Teaching Fellows.
I received my PhD at the University of Chicago, where I researched at the intersection of literature, history, and philosophy. Currently, my research investigates the relationship between civic education and democratic teaching practices, as well as the impact of emerging technologies on education. Both my teaching and research are informed by interdisciplinary and urgent interventions into a rapidly changing educational context. I am thrilled to be involved in many multidisciplinary projects with educationalists, philosophers, and social scientists. I have written and published on the relationship between generative AI, authorship, learning, and writing practices. I have additionally co-authored work on the modality of online teaching and its relation to inclusive and democratic pedagogical practice and am co-leading a book project that collects best practices in inclusive teaching from faculty across the globe, with editorial introductions on the relationship between civic society, democratic teaching, and inclusivity. I have presented at conferences on topics related to democratic education and have given talks on the philosophy of education, including the concept of training and educating "intelligence" in the development of emerging technologies, Nietzschean approaches to educating with technologies, and the biopolitics of emerging technologies, e.g. data analytics, and surveillance.
I have a strong record of collaboration with colleagues and peers across global alliances, disciplines, and civil society. In 2023, my engagement with inclusive education was recognized with an invitation to the prestigious Salzburg Global Seminar, where I founded a working group that examines civic education from the perspective of disengaged and disillusioned youth.
I am a co-director of the Open Society University Network's "Developing Teaching Professionals" program and organize the Annual Elkana Symposium.
