Teaching interests
I have over five years’ worth of teaching experience where I have acquired skills in the preparation and delivery of lectures, seminars and tutorials across undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the fields of human geography and environmental humanities. I have delivered teaching sessions on various topics including Climate Change, Indigenous Knowledge, Population Change & Social Sustainability, and Poverty, Aid & Livelihoods. At the Social-Ecological Systems Institute, Leuphana University, Germany, I co-designed and led a course titled 'Valuing nature: reflecting on transdisciplinary methods.'
Research interests
My research interests include relational values, human-nature connectedness, gender, and Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) systems. I am particularly interested in understanding how people value, relate to and connect with nature.
