Course title
Short description — what the course covers and how you teach it.
Feminist pedagogy, trauma-informed teaching, and service.
I design courses that move between rigorous theory and the realities students carry into the room. Feminist pedagogy shapes how I run discussion — distributing authority, taking student experience seriously, and making the classroom a place where hard topics can be met honestly.
Because much of my material touches violence and trauma, I teach it with trauma-informed practices: clear framing, choice in how students engage, and attention to pacing. Theory and practice stay in conversation, so students leave able to think and to act.
Sharing authority and centering student experience.
Structures that make participation possible for everyone.
Meeting difficult material with framing and choice.
Connecting concepts to the work of the world.

Beyond my own research, I help build the infrastructure that lets scholarship and community thrive. This work matters to me for the same reason my research does: movements are sustained by the unglamorous labor that keeps them running, and so are disciplines. Building durable spaces — for early-career scholars, for people whose questions sit outside the mainstream of the field, for collaboration across disciplines that rarely speak — is how I understand service.
