Professor Brownell's pedagogy is based on the theory that learning is a partnership where her primary role is to inspire, motivate, and engage students in activities designed to stimulate intellectual curiosity and seek new ways of solving problems. Her approach embraces the valuing of diversity, leadership, and creativity. The centerpiece of her approach is an understanding of change as integral to life. Students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to proactively adapt to what is a central feature of life, personally and organizationally.
