“When you stop learning, you start dying.” – Albert Einstein
In the digital age, information is easily accessible. The increasing democratization of knowledge is shifting the role of the teacher away from that of a privileged holder of specialized knowledge. In its place, I imagine teaching as a curatorial practice – an exercise in crafting educational experiences wherein students come to appreciate how the psychological sciences can illuminate aspects of self, others, and everyday life. In my best teaching moments, I am not a repository of facts, but a catalyst of curiosity, creativity, and pragmatic action. I aim to share my passion for the dazzling complexity and reassuring simplicity of humanity in a way that promotes lifelong learning. In doing so, I inevitably become a student in my own classroom. To engage with students and see the world of psychology afresh through their eyes is an invigorating experience that fuels my own curiosity and keeps me questioning who we are as a species .
