My teaching is committed to worldly engagement and intellectual complexity, and I take my students seriously as producers of knowledge. On the one hand, I almost always feature opportunities for hands-on ethnographic research and community engagement in my courses, allowing students to learn first-hand about the social world and the inequalities that surround us. On the other hand, I keep things simple, minimizing trivial assignments to give students the most thorough, challenging, and inspiring readings in anthropology to empower them as commentators and analysts of the worlds they care about.
