Community-Based Learning

In my roles as a teaching assistant and a primary instructor at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, I integrated applied, community-based learning into my teaching whenever possible. From civic engagement assignments to partnering with local or Wisconsin-based organizations on community-identified projects, this approach creates deep learning impacts for students and community partners alike. 

I invite students to see themselves as active agents of change within their communities (and food systems). To do so, we build skills around reflexivity,  positionality, and reciprocal collaboration with non-academic partners.
