Critical Digital and Media Literacy workshop
I designed and facilitated this workshop for OCTEVAWs Constellations Co-Mentorship program in 2026. This session explored how digital and media platforms shape our understanding of the world, influence power dynamics, and impact social justice movements. Participants learned to critically analyze media messages, challenge misinformation, and navigate digital tools for advocacy and community storytelling. As a group, we shared concerns and best practices for navigating generative AI for social justice movement.
Online Literacy workshop
I created this workshop for youth, working under ALiGN Media Lab, focused on critical new media literacy, digital values and ethics, and fake news detection. Throughout the session, students engaged in exercises and games to help them critically understand new media texts, images, and contexts and to learn some fact-checking skills.
Media, Race and Ethnicity course
I developed and taught this 4th year undergraduate course at Carleton University since January 2019. This course critically investigates a variety of theoretical and practical approaches on how race and ethnicity are constructed, represented, and resisted through contemporary media. Throughout the course, students engage with academic sources alongside analytical think pieces from popular press and podcasts. Students apply their critical thinking and independent reserearch skills through weekly group discussions, reading responses and writing assignments.
