AIDEN O.
Aidan O. is a PhD student in Communication & Culture at York University studying the politics of internet memes and social media. He has a masters degree in Media Studies from Western University and a bachelor’s degree in political studies from Queen’s University. Aidan is an experienced educator with a strong background in teaching communication, reading, writing and critical thinking skills. Aidan has worked as a graduate teaching assistant teaching in university classrooms, as a literacy tutor in elementary schools and in student’s homes and as a debate coach teaching students remotely over Zoom.
Aidan believes that teaching is a collective journey that requires an educator to move through the learning process with students and model attitudes and behaviors that reflect the practice and promote engagement with the subject matter. Learning is an acquisition of knowledge, but it is primarily a way of being in the world. Learning about literature, law, economics, history, science or philosophy is not just learning names of acclaimed authors and key concepts it is learning to carry on in our lives with critical questioning, eclectic curiosity and honesty about what we do not know. This understanding of the importance of teaching informs Aidan’s teaching and tutoring practice and motivates his journey to become a working professor. In his spare time Aidan enjoys cooking, listening to music and reading.
