► Critical Thinking

The internet has flooded us with information. In response, we must ask better questions, understand context, and do our best to logically evaluate the ideas we encounter. Watch my guide to thinking critically on YouTube.
 

► Social Justice

Everyone, regardless of race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or ability deserves dignity, respect, equal opportunities, and fair representation. 
 

► Viewpoint Diversity

My work embraces a brave space approach. A brave space welcomes diversity of viewpoint and experience, compassionate accountability, and dialogue to reach mutual understanding. Participants are encouraged to opt into and out of challenging conversations as they please, without judgment. We can all benefit from engaging meaningfully, and in good faith, with the experiences of those who are different than us.  

​

► Curiosity and Humility 

A spirit of curiosity and open inquiry means that it is ok to ask questions, even lots of them! Even silly ones! Becoming informed requires us to understand the limits of our own knowledge and get comfortable with saying "I don't know".
 

► Science and Reason

The scientific method is the most reliable tool available to us to help parse truth from fiction. Wherever possible, information and claims should be back up with high quality research. Scientific information should be accessible to all and communicated accurately -- without exaggeration or sensationalism.
