In short, I hope to foster agency in students to take more active roles in their education, in their lives, and in the world. Further, I strive for discourse that challenges students as well as myself to pursue deeper understanding of both our own narratives as well as others’. Through entertaining controversial or unconventional views, ideas, ways of knowing, etc., students hopefully leave my courses with at the bare minimum, a more open mind, but ideally, with a mindset and tools to take our collective trajectory seriously. ### Areas of Interest ### Education ### Courses Taught ### Curriculum Vitae Jared Benson, M.A. University of Colorado Colorado Springs (719) 255-8227 or toll free at (800) 990-8227 [...] (719) 255-8227 or toll free at (800) 990-8227 For questions regarding website accessibility, to report inaccurate content, or to notify the university of online information or functionality that is currently inaccessible, please visit Web Feedback ## INFORMATION ## RESOURCES ## COMMUNICATION ## Additional Links ### INFORMATION ### RESOURCES ### COMMUNICATION ## Legal and More University of Colorado Logo [...] # Jared Benson, M.A. University of Colorado Colorado Springs ## Quick Links: ## Tools: ## Resources For: ## Main Navigation ## Breadcrumb Jared Benson, M.A. ## Jared Benson, M.A. ## About Jared Benson, M.A. ### Philosophy My teaching philosophy springs from the point of departure that students and teachers are in this process together.
