Courses taught
Food 101: Introduction to Critical Food Studies
2022 (Fall)
This course introduces the field of critical food studies to undergraduate students. We survey a number of topics in the course relating to food systems, including industrialization and globalization; alternative food movements; food security and food sovereignty; Indigenous food systems; food and gentrification; and food justice. The course is motivated by a food justice and social justice framework and focused on food system inequality, specifically racial inequality.
Environmental Studies 260: Ideas and Institutions
2020 (Spring), 2020 (Summer)
This course focuses on ideas and institutions that have shaped the environmental movement and the governance of the environment (with a largely US focus). The course is centered on the concept of environmental governance and surveys a number of issues in this realm: environmental justice, biodiversity and conservation, food and agriculture, water resources and privatization, and climate change.
Critical Development Studies mini-seminar
Spring 2018
This course was a 7-week seminar for four advanced undergraduates. I co-designed and co-taught it with two of my colleagues. The syllabus surveyed critical development studies with thematic foci on gender, postcolonialism, discourse/power/knowledge, and neoliberalism, science and technology studies, and methodology.
