Teaching
I teach courses in the Educational Psychology and Counselling Psychology programs and supervise graduate students from three programs within the Faculty of Education: Educational Psychology, Counselling Psychology, and Educational Philosophy. I currently teach in two main subject areas: social and cultural contexts of human development and education (EDUC 385, EDUC 842) and theories of psychotherapy, psychopathology and psychological experience (EDUC 323, EDUC 862). Using an interdisciplinary perspective, I explore how theories and concepts of psychological development are embedded in specific cultural and political contexts and sets of values of which we are often unaware.
In addition, I teach in the Department of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia, at the William Alanson White Institute in New York, and at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles.
