Teaching & Advising

In the Environmental Sciences and Policy Program (ESP) at Johns Hopkins University, I periodically teach an online version of Sustainable Food Systems. In the past I taught that course in various formats, and a field course on Climate Change Adaptation at the Front Lines in Nepal and facilitated courses in Ecology and Conservation Biology.

At Michigan State University I taught courses including Introduction to Human Geography, World Regional Geography, Geography of Latin America and the Caribbean, Geography of Food and Agriculture, Geography of Environment and Development, Seminar on People-Environment Geography (Political Ecology), and Research Design in Geography.
