Teaching

I teach interdisciplinary courses focused on human-environment relations in geography, urban studies, global/international studies, gender and women’s studies, and qualitative research methods.
I am deeply committed to feminist, anti-colonial, and anti-racist praxis in my work, which has significant bearing in my teaching. In my classes, I bridge theory with active, experiential, and problem-based learning. We pay attention to the politics of knowledge production and work together to connect course concepts with students’ everyday lives through course activities and evaluations. Through this work, I aim to facilitate students in situating themselves and locating their agency in relation to wider structures and movements in society.
