Teaching Responsibilities

I work to create experiences that engage students with the world and to introduce them to the depth and breadth of pedagogy by sharing the established formal knowledge of our field, as well as tacit ways of knowing informed by experiences. When studied together, these forms of knowledge complicate each other, and I help students understand by encouraging critical analytical skills entwined with generosity or sensitivities to the histories, constraints, and possibilities of people’s circumstances.

Research Interests

Curriculum Studies as a field re-conceptualizes the study of questions such as: What is knowledge? Who gets to decide? Curriculum Studies critically explores education, within and outside school settings, with an ethic that honors diversity, respects all people(s), and encourages democratic community building. My scholarly work is primarily concerned with creating openings and spaces for anti-oppressive discourses and practices. I am most interested in studying experiences and pedagogical sites where divergent worldviews coexist. These, I argue, are sites of power relations that are educational and political.
