Interest

I teach a range of classes that are critical inquiry (feminist and queer theory, political thought, etc.) and I do a lot of EL in our department, both in my classroom and as the experiential learning coordinator. This is a tender time on our campus, and our students are looking for safe, impactful ways to express themselves and to connect fundamental concepts around freedom, responsibility and collective action to what is going on in the world around them.
