I design and teach courses in criminology, sociology, sociolegal studies, and related topics. My creative and critical pedagogical approach integrates diverse cultural and disciplinary perspectives, new media, and interactive/applied learning techniques.
I teach courses across a range of topics, levels, and formats. Below are recent courses I have taught.

These courses explore the trade, acquisition, and collection of cultural heritage, with a special focus on looted items. We trace the colonial trajectories of museums and looting, unpack the dynamics of power at museums and other cultural institutions, and de-colonially rethink culture, loot, and loss.

Both crime and gender are shaped by cultural, social, political, and historical contexts. In this course, we will explore the intersections of crime and gender with an eye towards these complex sociological contexts. Taking an intersectional, critical, and cultural criminological approach, we will cover classical aspects of gender and crime such as gender gaps, violence, and the law, as well as contemporary and unconventional topics, such as colonial governance of gendered crimes, women in organized crime groups, and gender, crime, and sexuality in film and television.
