Teaching

Summary:

My teaching interests and background primarily lie within the fields of economic geography, cultural geography, urbanization, rural-urban divides, and Marxian political economy. I take pedagogy and student intellectual development very seriously, and plan to continue teaching throughout my academic career. I have been a teaching assistant in the Department of Geography at the University of Leeds, as well as a lecturer at the International University College of Turin. I have taught both undergraduate and masters level students. Topics I have taught include economic geography, histories and theories of urban modernism, the political economy of rural-urban divides, urban resistance movements, suburbanization, psychogeography, and more. I have been involved with the following courses/modules:

• 2025: Lecturer for "The Political Economy of Rural-Urban Divides" at the International University College of Turin (Turin, Italy)

• 2025: Teaching Assistant for "The Making of the Modern City", Department of Geography, University of Leeds (Leeds, UK)

• 2024: Teaching Assistant for "Contested Cities", Department of Geography, University of Leeds (Leeds, UK)

Student feedback: 

• “Dash’s lectures helped me see my research area from a completely different angle and understand its roots more. It was truly an eye-opener. That perspective has stayed with me.”

• “Our seminar leader Dash was brilliant and really helped us engage with and understand the content.”

• “I really enjoyed Dash’s seminars. They were really interesting and stuck out to me. I felt like I learnt a lot and was able to make lots of connections between this module and other areas of geography.”
