Teaching
My teaching is based on nurturing students’ curiosity to explore social and environmental processes shaping the world and developing these sparks of interest into defensible knowledge and skills. I draw from experiences teaching and leading participatory research in diverse cultural contexts, my broad formation as a geographer, and from local and disparate communities to engage, inspire, and support my students.
