How did you become interested in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning?

I was interested in learning more about the emergence and use of Indigenous pedagogies and in learning how to help students reflect on and integrate previous learning into their lives and work.

What keeps you engaged or motivates you in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning?

I am always looking for ways to connect to students in ways that make sense and that reflect Indigenous approaches to learning.

What projects are you currently working on or hope to work on in the near future?

I am working on how to incorporate Indigenous Knowledge into business education courses and programs.
