Curriculum Vitae:
Teaching Experience:
I teach Social Foundations of Education to future teachers in the Leadership and Educational Studies program. My research focuses on the use of the humanities ("narrative pedagogy") with teachers, nurses, social workers, and other caring professionals to protect against burnout and help them thrive in their vocations. I also work in the fields of curriculum theory, aesthetics, reading education, and educational policy, especially critical work on the rise of neoliberal models of accountability and the emerging "audit culture" in public education.
Why I like to teach honors courses:
I love working with Honors students because they're not afraid to "go there": to find the place where what they discuss in class crosses with what they really care about, and bring that exciting intersection to light to move and improve us all.
