Christopher describes his approach to teaching as being centered in critical place-based pedagogies. Christopher’s teaching practice places a pedagogical focus on the dual aims of decolonization and reinhabitation, which as a method it seeks to; (a) identify, recover, and create materials, spaces and places that teach us how to live well in our total environments (reinhabitation), and, (b) identify and change ways of thinking that injure and exploit people and places (decolonization).
