Pedagogy
PEDAGOGY
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.
