Teaching Interests and Accomplishments
 

I believe I have expertise in art education, curriculum theory, qualitative research, and teacher education. Although my curriculum vitae places an emphasis on my teaching practices at UBC, I believe I am a teacher of teachers, and thus, many of my professional activities over my career have been conceptualized around notions of pedagogy and mentorship. I believe I have become known for a teaching style that is dialogic and community-oriented, participatory yet guided.
