COURSES TAUGHT
my pedagogy is concerned with empowering learners with diverse backgrounds and perspectives in the classroom
keywords: comparative global urbanism [Europe, North America, North Africa], housing policy & land use studies, public and environmental health inequality, environmental justice & the built environment
The ultimate teaching motto as delivered by Dr. Ananya Roy, in Poverty Capital (2010):
"In teaching my course [Global Poverty] at Berkeley I am struck by a contrast. On the one hand, I have students who are brimming with enthusiasm to do good; they want to save the world. They believe they can. On the other hand, I have students who are cynical, those who are able to level sharp critiques of structures of injustice but not believe that change is possible. I teach in the impossible space between the hubris of benevolence and the paralysis of cynicism."
