Previous Courses 

The following are graduate and undergraduate courses I have taught since 1997. These courses reflect my interests in postcolonial studies, critical race theory and critical pedagogy, feminist and women's studies, as well as a range of theoretical and cultural studies. I am an adjunct professor in Women's Studies (Faculty of Communication and Culture) and a listed faculty member in the new International Indigenous Studies program. I have also taught a range of "topics" courses in the English Department on illness narratives and narratives of sexual trauma, detective fiction by writers of colour, Alberta women writers, cultural theory and women of colour, aboriginal literatures, diasporic literatures and South Asian writing in Canada.
