Teaching

My teaching focuses on critical examinations of environmental issues, sustainability, culture, politics, globalization, tourism, development, resource management, hazards, and decolonization. Through my lecture classes, online offerings, and field courses, I encourage students to see the ways in which environments, people, and places around the world are connected and interrelated .
