Coursework and teaching
The courses I teach focus on topics related to food systems, food sovereignty and the environment, botany and plant ecology, and Indigenous studies. I also teach methods related to ethnoecology, mixed methodologies, community based participatory research approaches, and allyship. I incorporate field and community based learning into my courses
Core courses at Emory University, Department of Environmental Sciences with contribution to the developing minor in Native American and Indigenous Studies:
ENVS 131 Intro to Field Studies. It is a fabulous intro class to the Piedmont Region, doing field work, and the ENVS department.
ENVS 285 Biocultural Environments which will provide foundational knowledge, skills, and perspectives in Indigenous Environmental Sciences
ENVS 385 Food and Forests. A field course that considers Atlanta based forests as food systems with intersectional topics in botany, forestry, foraging, community based work, and Indigenous Studies. Check out the feature in Emory News on this course!
