teaching & pedagogy
I have been teaching a public health graduate-level course since the spring 2023 term at UNC Chapel Hill Gillings School of Global Public Health on public health in practice & the ins & outs of a 200-hour service practicum for students in the US & globally. I have coached & mentored 130+ students on securing & conducting their public health service practicums with community-based organizations (CBOs).
I look forward to continuing to grow my teaching portfolio & pedagogical methods grounded in anti-oppressive teaching principles, including but not limited to the following areas:
quantitative & qualitative methods in global health, climate, & toxicology
environmental justice & community resilience in the face of climate-related challenges
systems issues in air & water pollution studies
political economy & ecology of health & air pollution
methods to employing an interdisciplinary lens to the climate & health nexus (bridging natural & social sciences)
mis/dis-information & obstruction in the climate information ecosystem, particularly vested interests in framing & messaging (including stalled political action & quiescence strategies)
