Teaching Interests
In my teaching, I aim to cultivate positive attitudes towards diversity, curiosity and excitement about new ideas, and to teach skills that help my students learn and benefit from different perspectives. Please take a look at our pedagogical projects on teaching discussion skills in the Hong Kong context (https://eduhk-pt.wixsite.com/ptindiscussion) and teaching Global Perspectives through a focus on affective pedagogy and affective cultural competence (https://cultivateglobalpers.wixsite.com/home), an animated video to help visualize how "within culture differences are (almost) always bigger than between-culture differences," (De-essentializing Bar Graphs: Diversity within Differences"), and my TEDx talk, “Culture, Morality and Connecting Across Differences” (https://youtu.be/LToLDHWKGBE).
