Teaching

My teaching is grounded in feminist, critical, and decolonial pedagogies that center reflexivity, dialogue, and the co-production of knowledge. I aim to create inclusive learning spaces that encourage students to question dominant narratives and engage deeply with topics including the international politics of gender, crisis and violence, as well as humanitarian intervention.

At McGill University, I designed and taught INTD 498: Gender, Violence, and Global Governance, an advanced undergraduate course that examines how international frameworks—such as the Women, Peace, and Security agenda and the Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP)—shape global responses to gender-based violence. The course invites students to engage with theory and policy while reflecting on the lived experiences of those navigating systems of aid, displacement, and governance.

In addition to this course, I have served as a Teaching Assistant for several classes at McGill in Political Science as well as during my Masters at UC Davis. In these roles, I have led tutorials, facilitated discussions, and guided students in developing strong analytical and writing skills.

My teaching also extends beyond the university setting. From 2023 to 2024, I worked with the Jesuit Refugee Service in Amman, Jordan, where I tutored refugee learners in English and social studies. Since then, I have continued to mentor students and young professionals one-on-one, supporting their academic and personal development. These experiences have deeply informed my approach to teaching as a relational and transformative practice.
