I'm going to try an #introduction.
Let's see: I'm passionate about #teaching and #learning in #highered. I support #faculty in their teaching at #umich. My phd is in #politicalscience from Emory.

Let's talk about #activelearning, #ScienceOfLearning, equity-focused and inclusive teaching (#DEI), teaching in #publicpolicy and political science, #coursedesign, etc.

Of course, I'm always game for fascinating animal facts, adorable/fluffy pets, #cooking and #baking in my social media. :-)
