Professor Hall uses experience from teaching and facilitation to encourage a discussion where students fuel their engagement with readings from their own experiences. Spending summers guiding Turtle Campers through museums in DC and Trio Program high schoolers to navigate college campuses for the first time, Prof. Hall has spent the last decade highlighting race, gender, and class disparities in a manner that decenters individual students placement in grouping from the onset and focuses on how students do or do not relate to some of these bigger picture phenomenon. In Prof. Hall's classes, the pathway to self-identification and collectivism comes through learning how others navigated this pathway prior and how this aligns with our current circumstances, with consideration of advancements in technology and their impact on how young adults socialize, engage with social issues, and even participate in the classroom.
