TEACHING INTERESTS
Teaching Awards:
Canadian Political Science Association Teaching Excellence Award (2022)
This award was established to recognize the contributions of political scientists to excellence in teaching and student learning. The prize is awarded every year.
Faculty of Arts Dean's Teaching Award (2021)
This award recognises my commitment to building students’ leadership capacities through practical, first-hand experiences such as TMU’s ‘Women in the House’ program, which I co-founded with Distinguished Visiting Professor Peggy Nash in 2018.
Faculty of Arts Innovation in Curriculum and Pedagogy Award (2021)
This award is given to a Faculty of Arts faculty member who has demonstrated excellence, creativity, inclusivity and innovation in curricular development and pedagogy.
Graduate Teaching and Supervisions:
I regularly teach in the Master of Public Policy and Administration program at my university with supervisory interests on topics related to gender and politics/public policy, intersectionality, legislative codes of conduct, violence and harassment in politics, and citizen engagement. In 2022, I introduced a new MA-level course on Gender, Politics and Public Policy (PA 8220). In this course, students learn theoretical and practical skills on how to apply a gender and intersectional approach to public policies in Canada and in global politics.
​
I'm interested in supervising graduate students who wish to pursue studies on: political representation, gender in public policy and public administration, gender-based violence, intersectional policy analysis, citizen engagement, gender and race-based harassment in the political or public sectors at all levels of government (federal, provincial or municipal).
Undergraduate Teaching:
In addition to the Women in the House program, I regularly teach Canadian politics and Women and Comparative Politics at the undergraduate level.
