Teaching Philosophy/Equity Statement
Professor Daily works to foster an inclusive classroom environment in which disparate voices and viewpoints are listened to, respected, and encouraged. Her teaching method includes the use of humor as a way of putting students at ease as they wrestle with challenging issues and questions. Professor Daily helps students to develop a solid base of philosophical knowledge from which they can evaluate and deconstruct course topics. Her goal is to provide students with analytical tools that will serve them well in the increasingly complex and contentious world that lies beyond the classroom.
