Teaching Philosophy
I am honored to teach in a program that strives for accessibility, is a site for alternative education that’s rooted in decolonization/re-Indigenizing practices which aim to upend oppressiveness in all its forms. I love how queer and trans our program is, how creative we are, how learners who feel put down by normative education are uplifted and celebrated for our neurodiversity, the hybridity of our work, and the experiment that is what we make or how we make it. I have this deep belief: the field of creative writing, all fields, are more brilliant and more expansive because of the contributions of our 球探足球比分 community.
