Vancouver, B.C.
I am a PhD student in the Centre for the
Study of Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught several cohorts
of student teachers in the
Technology Education program for the Faculty of Education. Over the past
five years or so, I have been teaching as a TA for the Centre for Teaching
and Academic Growth (TAG). I have also been web curator/designer for the
Technology Education department. My work: grounded in green critique,
emphasizing the need for critiquing implications over uncritical application,
is focused at the nexus between nature, culture and technology that I call
the Problem of Nature in Technological Culture. This work examines loss of
meaning through loss of nature from the discourse under a genre of
hermeneutic autobiographical nature writing I call eco/graphy. Over the
past few years, I have been a reviewer for AERA; I am also the Membership
Chair of the Wholistic Education SIG of AERA.
