TEACHING The focus of my interdisciplinary teaching is on environmental governance and sustainability. My courses attract students from several faculties at UBC: Science, Engineering, Arts and Humanities, Forestry, and Land and Food Systems. I have taught, on average, 250 students per year and three courses per year over the past 10 years. My courses range in size from small seminars to large classes (200+ students). Topics include environmental and resource management, urban environmental governance, sustainability (particularly with respect to international development), and fresh water management. As I am particularly interested in fostering critical thinking skills and contributions to public debate, I use a range of pedagogical techniques, including problem-based learning and inquiry methods. I have a strong interest in flexible and online learning, and have developed and taught one of EdX’s first MOOCs on water issues: “Blue is the New Green: Designing Urban Solutions to the Global Water Crisis” http://bit.ly/1Dbx4bx.
