I count myself among the growing number of scholars who are deliberately engaging with the many conceptual and pragmatic challenges of teaching for a more just and sustainable future within the compounding crises of global climate change, geopolitical instability, and ongoing inequity and injustice. I situate my teaching within this complex context, and employ integrative, community-based and experiential learning approaches as normative and pedagogical commitments.  As a teacher and learner I am committed to connecting theory with practice, and scholarship with social change. I teach a variety of courses that attend to these commitments.
