Teaching
From community gardens and kitchens, to classrooms on the ground and "in the air" (online), Claire has taught in a variety of locations and spaces. Her teaching focuses on meeting students where they are in their learning process by creating a safe space for exploring new ideas, and making mistakes. Her favorite teaching paradigm includes introducing "disorienting dilemmas" for students, and allowing them to create their own resolution for complex problems and situations.
Integrating collaborative, community integrated learning, Claire likes to get students out of the classroom and into the community. As a visiting scholar at Tulane University she led students on a neighborhood food-mapping project that brought the theoretical concepts of a "food desert" into sharp view. Students researched food access points in the Treme neighborhood of New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina. They then journeyed out of the classroom and into the Treme to map where food could be found in 2010. This project resulted in the following interactive food system map: View Treme Food Systems in a larger map |
