Teaching experience and training

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. 

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.

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.
