My curriculum work centers on designing learning experiences that support inquiry, critical thinking, and the inclusion of diverse perspectives in social studies education. Across K–12 and teacher education contexts, I develop curriculum that connects disciplinary knowledge to students’ lived experiences and broader social and global issues.
I am particularly interested in creating curriculum that supports teachers and students in engaging with complex histories, questioning dominant narratives, and developing as critically engaged citizens.
