I am an interdisciplinary educator with a grounding in anthropology. I have taught courses on energy, natural resource extraction, indigeneity, anthropological theory, economic anthropology, environmental anthropology, Latin American history, and ethnographic writing, among others.
My classes reflect my pedagogical commitment to interdisciplinarity, Latin American scholarship, and critical Indigenous studies.
In my classes I promote attention to ethnographic realities by drawing from a wide array of media objects, including photography, documentary film, and digital media, alongside more conventional ethnographic objects of study. While these objects cannot replace the embodied experience of long-term ethnography, they work to bridge some of the distance that separates students from the contexts and worlds that we encounter in our readings and discussions.
