Himani Sood
Educator
As a teacher, I see myself as an agent of social change. Charged with such a loaded mission, I wish to teach as a Humanities educator in a programme that strongly commits to its ethos through practices within and outside of the classroom. I aim to ensure that my students leave the classroom with the tools required for rigorous scrutiny of the self and of society, a scrutiny that comes from a place of compassion, of wanting better for oneself and for others. As for a school and role — I am currently on sabbatical.
