My teaching methods combine experiential, participatory, and decolonizing learning methods with formal classroom lectures. In my courses, students engage with the spatiality of environmental problems, human landscapes, resource access, and environmental and transformative justice. I often approach these using post-modern and post-colonial approaches such as networked space and place frameworks and rural and Indigenous ways of thinking about place, space, and scale.

My lectures include the participation of non-western intellectuals and marginalized community members interested in having productive conversations with students in educational spaces. Course projects usually have a communitarian aspect oriented to help students develop problem-solving skills that are spatially and socially relevant.

I have taught courses such as Political Ecology, Human Geography, Geography of Latin America, Latinx Ethnicity and Identity, Theories of Development, and Local Stories and Global Trends at the University of Oregon, Beloit College, the San Francisco University in Quito, and currently at the Pennsylvania State University.
