Why I love teaching and mentoring!

Learning alongside my students, sharing the power of research, and seeing students progress towards their own goals—these are key reasons why I am passionate about teaching and mentoring at the university level.

With eight years of experience teaching on diverse, urban campuses in Brooklyn, New York and Denver, Colorado, I am committed to facilitating a learning environment that embraces diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

In each of my courses, I include practical exercises that illustrate the application of theory, the need for creative solutions, and the utility and gaps in our current approaches to addressing complex social issues.

What my students say…

“Stephanie is a great instructor who challenges her students in thinking critically. She taught us how to interact with content, how to question everything, and how to wrestle with data. She could have easily allowed us students to figure it out on our own but rather she gave us tips on how to handle upper-division courses and readings. She navigated with students on how to answer our questions. She also shaped every aspect of this course into our personal interests, considering how not all students were public health majors. Whatever the topic was, she applies that to politics, biology, public health, economy, policy, etc. which is a great thing to keep everyone interested.” - Global HIV Epidemic, summer 2018

“The format of this class made me feel like I was always engaging with the content even when I'd finished my work and was reflecting on it throughout my life... Despite the bizarreness of taking classes online during COVID-19, it felt like she was almost always able to bring a compelling conversation into the class that a number of students were willing to engage in. When the class was struggling and unwilling to engage, Professor Chamberlin has no problem leading a compelling lecture that draws upon her own life and job experience or numerous other insightful examples that helped highlight the content being taught...I never knew that I had a passion for Public Health but I think it's impossible not to come out of this class feeling this way.” - ‘Gender, Race, Class, and Health’, spring 2021
