I am the Professional Development Educator at the University of Pikeville in Pikeville, KY. My current research at the institution focuses on Open Pedagogy and OER-enabled Pedagogy as means to promote equity in learning, particularly when looked through the lens of Critical Pedagogy. I am also pursuing a PhD in Sustainability Education and am researching the neoliberal and colonial roots of higher education, its influences on faculty and how Critical and Post-Colonial pedagogies may disrupt tendencies to perpetuate neoliberal and colonial discourse in teaching.
