Teaching

Mikki has taught and designed courses and mentored BA and MA students across a range of (anti and inter)disciplines and institutions for almost a decade. They feel most at home in the feminist classroom where they collaboratively explore ways to unlearn and question everything. The common thread of their teaching is the desire to create a classroom where students can broaden their citational registers with an attentiveness to decolonizing and queering the curriculum; practice deep listening and reading; and nourish a desire to change the world by connecting theory to praxis and vice versa.
