I currently teach at San Diego State School of Public Affairs where I teach introduction to urban planning to both undergraduate and graduate students. Previously I taught courses on site planning, and urban design theory, public health and the built environment, food systems planning, geographic information systems, and herban planning: public policy and land use for cannabis.

Herban Planning: Public Policy and Land Use for Cannabis
This course provides students with a foundational understanding of the social, spatial, and economic processes that influence the cannabis industry in Oklahoma. Students explore trends in legalization across the United States to think more critically about the role of public policy and land use planning in addressing concerns and opportunities confronting the state as legalization unfolds.

Food Systems Planning
This course provides students with a foundational understanding of the social, spatial, and environmental processes that influence food availability, access, and utilization in the United States. Students explore trends in food systems planning as a means of engaging more critically to remedy inequitable patterns of food insecurity and foster community food sovereignty.

Geographic Information Systems for Land Use Planning
This course provides students with a foundational understanding of the processes that document and depict spatial relationships of the social, environmental, and physical aspects of land use. Students explore trends in cartography and geographic information systems as a means of using maps as a tool of investigation and community engagement in planning

Site Planning
This course provides students with a foundational understanding of social, ecological, and physical conditions that influence the design of the built environment. Students explore historical and contemporary trends in site planning and to think more critically about the planning, design, and construction of human settlements.

Urban Design Theory
This course provides students with an advanced understanding of theories about the design, creation, and maintenance of the physical environment. Students explore historical and contemporary trends in social theory including consumerism, individuality, collectivism, and justice as a means of engaging more critically the physical design of the built environment.
