About

Christopher Jackson joined the Department of Focused Inquiry faculty in 2010. He has taught UNIV 111, 112, and 200 for the department, as well as courses in literature for the English Department here at VCU. As a teacher, his central goal is to create contexts in which students can cultivate essential skills and dispositions--in inquiry, writing, reading, thinking, noticing, and metacognition--that allow them to engage more actively and imaginatively in their learning. He believes that art of asking questions is at the center of learning. His favorite questions are: "What is worth learning?" and "What do we mean by ____?"
