Intersectional feminist / unapologetic critical social justice and anti-racist educator / educational consultant
Daughter of immigrants, mama to three bossy women who will run the world one day. Closet nerd, academic and prof at the U of A, my areas of research include anti-racist pedagogy, cultural identity and hybridity, white fragility, power and privilege. I am an assistant lecturer in the Departments of Secondary Education and Educational Policy Studies at the University of Alberta. My main role is to work with pre-service teachers in their understanding of culture, race, schooling and curriculum. I am committed to helping educators and community members reach their very best potential through critical dialogue and building relationships.
