Teaching Philosophy

To engage others as you engage yourself to strive and move beyond the surface, to broaden the horizons of others and your own through knowledge, to learn from others as they learn from you is uniquely gratifying.  As a teacher of the humanities at a small liberal arts college, I see myself as a guide and a mentor on an intellectual journey that will expose curious minds to new thoughts and ideas.  Acquiring, analyzing, and critically evaluating information is what motivates what and how I teach whether a language, literature, culture, or composition class.

Notes

Gabriele’s research interests include 19th, 20th and 21st century Spanish peninsular culture and literature, particularly Spanish Romanticism, avant-garde theater, Spanish feminist theater, exilic literature, the theater of Democratic Spain, and postmodern Spanish theater.
