Teaching
Teaching is an extension of the same commitments that shape my research...
Gurduara sunset. Charik, Moga, Panjab, India. 2026.... treating the people in the room as collaborators rather than recipients of fixed content, and building courses around the specific people and contexts they serve rather than a generic curriculum. It draws directly on bell hooks' idea of education as the practice of freedom, the premise behind her book Teaching to Transgress, and on the same human-centred, community-engaged methods that run through my design and research work. A classroom, like a health system or a research project, works better when the people inside it are treated as co-creators rather than an audience.
