I teach��a range of courses both on the MA and BA level in transgender studies, feminist methodologies including new feminist materialisms and environmental humanities.

My perspective on teaching is mainly formed by an aim to create a space for collaborative learning and is driven by an activist formed understanding of knowledge creation and exchange. Teaching students in the field of intersectional feminist theory as well as transgender and queer studies allows to create fully engage in knowledge production and reflections that bridge activism and academic practices.

Occasionally, I teach PhD courses that link to trans studies, cultural studies and environmental humanities.
