Alternative Content & Pedagogy ChoicesThe following are books and online resources I have collected on teaching alternative content and pedagogy. In other words, these perspectives are valuable because they feature people whose voices have been historically under-represented and even stifled in the mainstream, and are therefore necessary perspectives to consider when constructing a balanced narrative. They are listed in no particular order, and I am continuing to add and grow the list as I discover new resources. Please feel free to make suggestions to add to the list, I'm always interested in new finds! Drop a line on the contact form.

"Sweatshops at Home and Abroad" SyllabusI co-designed a syllabus for a Georgetown University Anthropology Undergraduate course entitled "Sweatshops at Home and Abroad." We explored themes of labor, migration, gender, race, and economics as a means to examine the human impact of global trade. Below you will find readings and assignments that might be helpful if you are teaching an economics, history, gender, or anthropology course at the high school or college level.
