    In spring 2014

    I taught a general education course with circa 250 students

    called AIS160 Many Nations of Native America. I worked with a team of 6 teaching assistants and actively fostered their training as learner-centered teachers through mentoring

    peer and supervisor observations. Moreover

    I assessed the course history

    designed measurable course objectives and learning outcomes

    and recommended adjustments of assessment methods. I created an orientation and instructional support modules for instructors and GTAs.\n\nIn fall 2013

    I taught my newly designed seminar AIS495/595 Environmental Justice and American Indian Communities. The seminar provides a multidisciplinary introduction into the issues

    strands

    and concerns of the environmental justice movement as well as the unique legal and cultural situation of Native Nations. The course examines Indigenous understandings of environmental justice

    tensions between questions of sovereignty and environmental justice

    and Indigenous grassroots activism.\n\nPublications:\nGemein
