 TEACHING

I have experience in teaching a broad umbrella of subjects across anthropology, geography, urban studies, critical race theory, and Middle East Studies. As a scholar-educator, I cultivate in students a critical approach to difference and power. While familiarizing my students with key theoretical debates and texts, I guide them to identify social problems and question their assumptions about everyday life and politics, and apply this thinking to their respective careers. While I do so, I am strongly committed to making critical thinking accessible to a diverse body of students. Sample syllabi of my courses are available upon request.

I am also committed to eradicating the boundaries between research and teaching. My article in entanglements: experiments in multimodal ethnography discusses the ways in which anthropologists can do so through fieldwork practices that involve pedagogy and theory.
