Land-centred Learning and Thriving Communities
As scholar I am deeply committed to research that advances anti-colonial, relational land-centred, and critical place-based learning. As an educator, I endeavour to support learners in developing joyful, educative, and caring relationships with the land.
Contexts of Schooling, the Work of Educators, and Thriving Communities
My research focuses on the contexts of our work as teachers and teacher-educators, particularly during challenging times. My colleagues — Dr. Paula Rosehart, Janice St. Helene, Sarine Sadhara, Dr. Awneet Sivia, Dr. Margaret MacDonald, Kau’i Kelliipio and Neva Whintors — and I have explored this line of scholarship through a series of papers investigating the impact of COVID on teaching and learning.
Self-Study of Practice Methodologies and Thriving Communities
I am a passionate advocate of empowering educators as creators of knowledge through practitioner-inquiry. Through research into our own practices as educators, we complexify our understandings of the specific contexts in which we teach and can better respond to the communities that we serve.
