My teaching practice is grounded in decolonial, Indigenous Knowledges, critical race and postcolonial critical thought, embodied and transformative approaches to education that centre diverse ways of knowing, encourage critical inquiry, and support students to engage thoughtfully with complex social, cultural, and global issues. I am committed to creating inclusive learning environments where students are supported to question assumptions, examine systems of power and knowledge production, and develop the capabilities needed to contribute meaningfully within their professions and communities
