As an educator, I seek to highlight – and promote critical reflection upon – the normative or value dilemmas that are at the heart of political conflict. 

I teach primarily in two overlapping areas: political theory and the politics of environment and sustainability. Courses I’ve taught include American Government, Introduction to Political Theory, Environmental Politics, Contemporary Political Theory, Radical Political Thought, Politics of Sustainability, Liberalization and Resistance, and capstone seminars on a variety of themes including property, democracy, the politics of everyday life, and environmental political theory. My courses contribute to the Department of Politics as well as Humboldt’s interdisciplinary Department of Environmental Studies. Beginning in Fall 2025, I will also be teaching as part of our university's B.A. program at Pelican Bay State Prison.
