Throughout my life, I was fortunate to have professors who altered the way I see the world. They were all great in different ways, but they shared one thing in common: teaching was not simply about conveying knowledge, but about extending an invitation to discovery. That is how I see my own task as a teacher: to instill in students a passion for learning and a curiosity to explore the world.
In the exploration that begins in our classroom, but which the diligent student will continue outside it, I aim to instill two further intellectual values. First, radical skepticism: everything can and should be questioned. Second, humility: the world is vast, and we do not — and cannot — understand everything.
Together, curiosity, skepticism, and humility form the foundation of a great student. Teaching is a lofty task, and if I fail to cultivate these qualities, then I have failed in my role as a professor.
