My work traces paths, engagements, and approaches in multiple registers in classrooms and communities. These projects are driven by my passion for teaching, research, and leadership based on Cherokee philosophies of reciprocity, inclusion, and etc.
Teaching
All of my teaching is geared toward helping learners to make a difference where it matters most to them. In addition to hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students at universities, I've taught youths as young as 5 and adults as old as 82 in community organizations, after-school projects, and summer programs with indigenous communities. In whatever setting, my goal is to engage all of my students in learning through experiential, multimodal, inclusive pedagogies in a comfortably rigorous environment. Such a goal is asset based— it assumes that students are eager, smart, engaged, and willing learn new material and ways of expressing themselves.
