Teaching

My pedagogical goal is to impart to students the analytical tools with which to develop nuanced understandings of the world around us. My teaching and ethnographic practices are both rooted in the question of how to account for the social lives of difference in varied global contexts. I invite students to think about different ways of human flourishing, and to consider the structures of power which hold up our own societies. 

I was a 2019-2020 Dean’s Prize Teaching Fellow at Johns Hopkins University. I also completed a graduate certification from the JHU Teaching Academy in 2020. In the courses I have designed and taught at Johns Hopkins, I built students' critical communication skills through close engagement with texts and project-based assessments. At LUMS, I look forward to teaching introductory and advanced seminar courses on anthropological inquiry, research methods, and various topics in ethnographic theory. I am also excited to supervise undergraduate research projects.
