Teaching

I design learning environments to center students’ lived experiences with writing, language, and accessibility. 

I began my career as a K-12 special educator and my courses draw from that experienece to leverage creative and qualitative methods that simultaneously investigate how writing can be used to reproduce, challenge, and reimagine injustice.

Courses

WRIT 1122: Writing and Language Justice

In this course, we question what good writing is, who decides, and who benefits. We experiment with genres like dedications, interview poems, and speculative nonfiction using multiple languages and multiple modes. Drawing from artists, organizers, and students as well as traditions like Black Feminism, Chicana Feminism and Disability Justice, we work together imagine a more just future.

WRIT 1133: Writing and Researching for Access 

In this course, we leverage our own experiences and the experiences of people we care about to study access and Disability Justice through accesible research methods. We draw from the work of disability justice scholars and activists to leverage our data and narrate a more accessible and just future. 

Workshops 

I faciliate writing workshops about accessible and inclusive pedagogies.
