I help to coordinate UBC Jump Start, a multi-day academic orientation for UBC students. 

I have an ongoing project on empathy and perspective-taking in humanities education.

• A preliminary report on this project is available here.

• Several years ago, I began an interdisciplinary Scholarship of Teaching and Learning seed project  and TLEF project at UBC to investigate whether undergraduate humanities coursework influences measures such as cognitive empathy, dogmatism, and the capacity to articulate an opponent's position charitably, and to investigate whether these traits can be treated as learning outcomes and encouraged through different pedagogical techniques.

• This project is in progress: please contact me with any inquiries.

Midterm evaluation of teaching: I've been an early "beta tester" of UBC's Midterm Evaluation of Teaching project, which has been very helpful in my classes so far. 

ePortfolios: I’m an early adopter of the UBC Arts ePortfolio project, which aims to help students present research and work to extra-academic audiences.

Space for Notes: I've been occasionally co-developing an iPad app for collaborative note-taking in classroom and research settings, and outside. More about 'Space' here.
