Whether teaching in the field, the classroom, or the lab, I foreground active learning and experiential pedagogy. My teaching interests include political ecology, environmental anthropology and archaeology, agrarian studies, historical and industrial archaeology, and interdisciplinary topics in environmental studies. I design my courses based on the precepts of Universal Design for Learning, and am always looking for ways to make my teaching more accessible.

In addition to the interdisciplinary undergraduate classes I teach in the Stanford program on Civic, Liberal, and Global Education, I have taught the following classes as Instructor of Record.
