Associate Professor, St. Mary’s University (Calgary)

I am Associate Professor of Education specializing in curriculum and instruction. I am located in Calgary Alberta, Treaty 7 Territory, where I train prepare teachers for the profession (since 2013). My research is focused on simulations and the confluence of education and economic inequality. I was also a high school teacher for 6 years in California before moving back to Calgary, where I was born and raised.

I have published numerous articles, and am editor of two books:

More Like Life Itself: Simulations as Powerful and Purposeful Social Studies (Published by Information Age, 2019)

and

Teaching for Democracy in and Age of Economic Disparity (Published by Routledge, 2017)
