My teaching is theoretical, and research to practice oriented. I place the debate into a theoretical framework, I present past and present research, and I provide tools for practice. My teaching is interactive whenever possible. I normally teach classes with 400 or 500 students in which the interaction is minimum. In all my other classes the debate goes both ways, students contest my teaching and I react to students’ comments with more theory, research or tools for action. I use combinations of ppts, formal and informal debates and discussions, and I strongly encourage active participation in my classes. In an average class, every single student must actively participate in enriching their peers learning experience. We all, students and myself, make the class together. - Aspects related to professional activities (if any) -Service-Learning. I’ve created several service-learning programs for students to practice what they learn in my classes. -I created the NGO “Nikumbuke-Health by Motorbike” to generate a grassroots movement pushed by undregrad and grad students along with local women and girls from isolated villages in Kenya. - Other aspects you would like to highlight I have received 10 Teaching Awards at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
