Some classes and workshops I’ve taught

Statement of Teaching Philosophy

(coming soon)

I have considerable experience in classroom teaching of graduate-level courses in social welfare policy, MSW capstone project supervision, and social work professional practicum in agency settings. I also have also designed and taught digital skills workshops for graduate students, aimed at increasing data infrastructure literacy, foundational digital skills, and critical reflection on technology. I enjoy giving guest lectures for colleagues and collaborators, and bringing together my expertise in critical social science, deep policy knowledge, and interest in the how emerging technologies shape learning, policymaking, and social relations.
