Mentoring
As I continue to work with students in UW Geography, I am not recruiting graduate students in the 2024-2025 admissions cycle.
I work with graduate students who are thinking with abolition geographies, migrations and/or environmental justice. An important part of my mentorship is helping students navigate academia, including seeking funding, getting published and learning networks. (I support students on all paths, but most of my work experience is as an academic.) While we read, think and write together, MA/PhD students develop their own dissertation projects.
Prospective graduate students should have at least two years relevant experience – for example, organizing for climate justice, working as a language interpreter for immigrants and mixed status families, or personal experience. Graduate students should have demonstrated capabilities to collaborate with the communities where they plan to conduct research, including language proficiencies. I am most interested in working with students who are planning research in the US, Mexico, Central America and/or the Caribbean (not South America).

Graduate Seminars
I have facilitated graduate seminars on topics including Abolition, Indigenous Methods, and Race & Radical Placemaking. At UCSD, I will facilitate COMM296 in Spring 2025, which is only open to students in the Communication PhD. I look forward to developing courses as part of the UCSD community in future years.
