Teaching

I teach across human geography, urban studies, and cultural geographies, with a focus on place, memory, and identity. My classroom is a space of exploration, where walking methods, storytelling, and critical theory come together to help students engage deeply with the urban worlds around them.

I’ve taught large lectures and small seminars, developed new curriculum, and supported students in bringing their own experiences into conversation with broader spatial questions. I aim to foster curiosity, care, and critical reflection – in and beyond the classroom. Highlights include asking students to think about how they would tell a story about a place (e.g., a neighbourhood) by curating a walking tour.

GEOG 220 – The Human Environment: Place, Space & Identity

(Fall 2024), 324 students, Lecturer, Concordia University

This course examines how place is constructed through subjective encounters of humans with each other and with the non‑human world. This focus reveals how the unique and contested identities of places are created and how space itself is socially constructed. The ways in which place, space and identity affect and are affected by political, economic, cultural and environmental changes are then examined within the context of existing patterns of geographical unevenness.

(2023 – 2025), 20-25 students, Tutorial Leader, Concordia University
