My teaching interests focus on geography and migration studies, particularly in research methodologies, gender, and mobility. I strive to guide students in exploring the intersections of gender, migration, work and education. By integrating my research expertise into teaching, I aim to offer students a deeper understanding of everyday concerns and develop their critical thinking and analytical skills.
I chair a third-year Geography undergraduate dissertation module, D325, Researching Everyday Geographies. The module is built on an anti-racist ethos and teaches how to undertake geographical research with care. Its innovation lies in its ability to successfully teach research ‘at a distance,’ in line with the Open University’s distance learning teaching model. The module inspires students to engage with pressing societal issues that impact their everyday lives through geographical thinking.
