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.
