TEACHING

My pedagogical praxis is centered on collaboration and radical care, with permission to fail, disrupt and transgress. My teaching philosophy is informed by the radical pedagogies of educators like bell hooks, Paulo Freire, Augusto Boal, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Jill Dolan.

I began teaching in 2010 as a graduate teaching assistant at SUNY Stony Brook. Since 2017, I have taught at the Center for Transdisciplinary Gender Studies at Humboldt University of Berlin. You can find some of the courses I have designed and taught below. To request access to course readings and course materials, please contact me.
