Teaching Experience
My teaching is student centered and promotes active and engaged learning. Simulations, activities, and discussion are important in my course. Promoting a decolonized pedagogy that centers the narratives, research, and histories of peoples outside the Western context is an important component of my teaching philosophy. In 2021, I created the new minor in human rights at Hawaiʻi Pacific University. In 2021 my new course on global environmental politics was also selected as a core content requirement for our university. I also teach course sections on the politics, religion, and culture of Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh for the Foreign Service Institute.
