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 feature opportunities for hands-on ethnographic research and theorizing 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 in the classroom, minimizing inconsequential assignments to give students the most thorough and challenging readings in anthropology, thus empowering them as commentators and analysts of the worlds they care about.
