I employ an Ignatian pedagogical model of experience, reflection, and action, inviting students to engage their lived realities while cultivating rigorous theological inquiry. Students encounter theology not as abstract content but as a discipline deeply connected to questions of meaning, ethics, and vocation.\u000b\u000bIn the classroom, I prioritize clarity, intellectual rigor, and active engagement. Through a balance of lecture and discussion, students are encouraged to wrestle with complex ideas, ask difficult questions, and articulate their own developing perspectives. My extensive experience teaching high-enrollment core courses has refined my ability to make theological concepts accessible without sacrificing depth.\u000b\u000bMy work as a minister further shapes my pedagogy, grounding it in dialogue, attentiveness, and real-world application. I seek to form students who can think critically, engage diverse perspectives, and integrate faith with contemporary life.\u000b\u000bHaving taught within Xavier University’s Jesuit mission for over a decade, my pedagogy is shaped not only by Ignatian principles in theory, but by sustained practice within this institutional context. Ultimately, my goal is to cultivate graduates prepared for lives of thoughtful leadership, ethical responsibility, and meaningful service.","cbCairOo8jcWrAKH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairOo8jcWrAKH","docx",29967,"English","# Academic Appointments\n## Xavier University (Theology)\n## Global and Experiential Learning\n## Ecclesial Leadership\n# Education\n# Publications\n# Teaching Areas\n# Honors and Awards\n# Teaching Philosophy","[{\"question\":\"What academic positions does Dr. K.
