As a cultural anthropologist, Mythri is interested in the relationships between how we deliver the content in the classroom, questions of accessibility, universal design, and student empowerment. She finds that focusing on the contexts or environments in which instructors is a useful angle to approaching student learning. As a faculty mentor, she is also interested in contributing shared forms of knowledge about connecting with students in the classroom and supporting new faculty to identify and build support networks to thrive at SCU. Mythri is looking forward to this next year and to continuing this important work!
