Philosophy:
At a commencement speech for Gallaudet University, Jesse Jackson said, œItÃs not that Deaf people canÃt hear; itÃs that hearing people donÃt listen.”

I guess, above all, I hope my teaching inspires students to develop their own life long commitment to learning something they love, ensures that they donÃt use knowledge gained in my classes to (unintentionally) harm Deaf people and challenges their assumptions so they can listen.
