Teaching

Whether teaching in universities or community centers, to a classroom of adults or children, I value the exchange of ideas that dialogue creates.

I believe we each carry important knowledge about our unique lived experiences, and putting these stories together allows both teacher and student to expand their world. My current teaching centers themes of foodways as memory and power, the often racialized social politics of health, and embodied learning (learning through experiences, senses, emotions and reflection). I am dedicated to creating learning experiences that are engaging, accessible, welcoming and empowering, and that challenge traditional academic forms of research and learning.
