As a teacher and scholar, I am committed to a pedagogy that teaches students how to think at the margins. Through collaborative assignments, autoethnographic writing, and projects in which students investigate the social relationships that surround them, I encourage students to see their own knowledge as a dialectical outcome of theory and practice. In all of my courses, I provided students with the historical and theoretical bases to challenge the anti-Black, anti-Indigenous, and anti-poor foundations of the U.S; grapple with questions of structural oppression; and imagine themselves as part of movements challenging state violence.
I am currently a professor of anthropology at Trinity College, Hartford.
