Selected comments from students

“Sandra was an incredible recitation leader. I always felt heard when I voiced my opinions about any topics or reflections from the class and she let students guide the discussions while making sure the conversation remained productive. I had the privilege to have Sandra both semesters this year, and I never want to have a different recitation leader. She connects well with the students and maintains a safe space in the classroom that is essential for the tough topics we are tackling.”

“Amazing class! Dedicated professor who is clearly very passionate about this topic. Very organized, engaging, and supportive. Would love to take another class with her if I could!”

“Sandra was very motivated, passionate and challenging us during all the classes. She wanted us to go deeper in our reflexions and to create a discussion about theories.”

“Sandra has been quite an effective teacher for this class. Her open mind and the respectful attitude towards different cultural backgrounds and ethnic groups helps the diverse discussions in class move forward.”
