A central application of my research is found within my teaching.  Having the opportunity to explore fundamental theories/concepts/ideas in new ways with a diverse student body has been an exciting part of my experience. As an African immigrant who grew up and was educated in the Bronx, I am determined to help broaden students’ abilities to navigate issues concerning social, political and economic structures through thoughtful and critical scholarship.  I have designed and taught my own courses online and in person. 

Teaching about racial and gender inequities is a privilege and challenge I welcome knowing that the pedagogical strategies I use are effective in engaging students to think critically about inequality which is often replicated in other social, economic, and political milieus.
