"I see my role as a professor as not only a mentor, but also a fellow traveler with the students on their way to becoming independent critical thinkers, capable problem-solvers, or even budding social scientists. Through my teaching, my students should not only get familiar with the course material per se, but also develop new thoughts and world visions to develop into global citizens."
