“Professor Ilil Benjamin’s classes are engaging and thought-provoking, and they are accessible to even those without a sociology or international studies background. She approaches every class with positivity and empathy, and she promotes open and thoughtful discussions among class members.”

“Dr. Benjamin isn’t just kind, she is also a fantastic teacher – she conveys complex themes and topics succinctly and simply. She truly engages every student in the classroom, encouraging them to speak and contribute as much as possible to create the best atmosphere for learning.”

“Not only does Professor Benjamin structure her classes with the perfect balance of lecture, group discussions, and stories about her field work, but somehow she fosters a community among students to make our class feel as though we are working toward a common academic goal to understand issues in a new way.”
