At Arizona State, I achieved tenure, saw my monograph Memory, Nationalism and Narrative in Contemporary South Asia through publication by Palgrave Macmillan, and spearheaded the English department's efforts to devise a semester-long graduate course preparing enrollees to teach literature at the college level. My doctorate is in 20th- and 21st-Century British Literature, but my dissertation and much of my subsequent scholarship connects...

There are many ways of approaching new knowledge and new skills, and students can very quickly begin to see how their own learning process works.

...comes to academics, we are learning new ways of thinking, logic, and the means to solve problems. At times those methodologies seem foreign to us due to their approach. Finding alternative approaches helps us all in moving forward, assimilating information, and mastering problems. I aim to arm those that I work with many tools in their approach to a given subject matter. These tools can be applied throughout the curriculum and further into the future.

...More than any other experience, the three years as an SI leader helped me grow my leadership and tutoring skills, as well as my love of teaching. SI leaders use the challenges posed by high-risk/high-failure courses to guide undergraduates to discover, not just "what to learn," but also "how to learn." Knowing how to learn and how to obtain information is a skill demonstrated by multiple research studies to predict success in advanced classwork as...
