Teaching

As a teacher, I strive to create a classroom space that makes room for sitting with the difficult reality of the climate emergency and for imagining new ways of relating to our planet. I work to create opportunity and space for student empowerment in three ways: emphasizing learning through dialogue and conversation, supporting student’s agency, and developing interdisciplinary thinking. 

At Carleton University, I taught in the Department of English as well as the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, and I also served on the steering committee designing Carleton's new minor in Environmental and Climate Humanities. At Queen's University, I teach environmental humanities and US literary and cultural studies within the Department of English.
