Testimonials
You make my leadership and chair work so much more effective. For our department, it is always more compelling to hear and process things from an outside well respected source. I feel that your professional values in academia are very much aligned with mine but you are so much better in communicating and putting things into perspective than I ever will be. I am in deep appreciation of you!

Dr. Amin’s visit to my Dance Pedagogy class set the tone and laid the groundwork for ongoing, meaningful discussions surrounding anti-racist pedagogy in dance. Her generous and kind spirit created a supportive environment for students to ask difficult questions to which she responded clearly and directly, in a way that promoted ongoing discussions.

In each encounter with our school, Dr. Amin brought a deep knowledge of teaching and learning, an unwavering commitment to inclusive, liberatory education, and a welcome sense of humor and enthusiasm. She was also an excellent thought partner for us as we worked on both curricular and structural changes in our programs. Working with her was a joy!”

Dr. Amin makes “difficult conversations” less difficult and is effective in getting colleagues to work together towards defining goals and implementing the pathway to meet those goals. She was both generous and generative in her consulting with my program. This challenging year was made so much better with Dr. Amin’s wisdom and coaching.”
