Teaching. I love teaching: there's nothing better than being in a field course, classroom, or lab learning together and discussing difficult ideas. I'm trying my best at it, with new ideas in every course and a strong focus on critical thinking skills, evidence-based argument, and the exploration of power structures in the environment. I might sneak in an iNaturalist assignment or two. Recently I've won a Faculty of Social Sciences Teaching Award, and the University of Victoria REACH Award for graduate teaching. I'm constantly trying to be better in my teaching approach and materials. I'm the Director of the School of Environmental Studies for most of 2019-2024, so am currently teaching only 2 courses per year.
