Teaching
My teaching -- in both content and process -- is an extension of my critical interest in social inequality. I teach in a range of topics, and train students in critical, reflective, and creative scholarly practices & principles of community-based research. I enjoy developing and leading courses across many levels, including lower division, upper division, and graduate courses.
