About Me

The most important responsibility we have as journalists is to question those who are in power. I honestly believe that.

~ Jorge Ramos

Areas of Focus

Journalism, media studies.

Biography

My classroom is a dynamic space where we exchange ideas freely and celebrate teaching, learning and diversity.

Teaching is my second career. I  covered business and labor as a reporter at the Detroit Free Press for six years, and before that worked my way up through four daily newspapers in Ontario, Canada.  I believe strongly that free and responsible news media and the protections of the First Amendment are crucial to a  democratic society.
