Pedagogy

PEDAGOGY

Note: as of Aug 2022, I no longer update this page. I leave it up for others who may want to see how this sort of page could be structured.

FRAMEWORK

My pedagogy is honed through readings from feminist, queer, postcolonial, and anti-racist work on sociospatial justice through the lens of critical geography, sociology, and anthropology. Equally essential is core and cutting-edge work on political economy that informs my approach of research as practice to empower, inspire, and push students. You can get a sense of the quality of the work I expect in my recommendation writing policy. Below I list those key texts that frame my pedagogical approach.
