Hilary Brown is an Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Studies at Brock University.  She is the recipient of the 2017 Faculty of Education Award for Excellence in Teaching.  Most recently she developed the central course for the new enhanced teacher education program that guides teacher candidates to become culturally responsive educators.  Hilary uses duoethnography as a pedagogical tool to encourage her students to delve deeply into the self in order to both expose as well as reconcile their vulnerabilities around the concept of diversity.
