Guy Crawford

Teaching & Experiential Learning

I teach on the following courses at Bader College: DEVS 100: Canada and the “Third World” (Fall and Winter), BADR 100: Thinking Locally (Fall), BADR 101: Thinking Globally (Winter), and BADR 200: Creativity and Activism in a Postcolonial World.

My background in geography, a discipline that treats field-based enquiry as a signature pedagogy, means that I am accustomed to placing importance on experiential learning outside of the classroom.

This year DEVS 100 students will be exploring sustainability transitions in Brighton and colonial histories at the British Museum; on BADR 200, we’ll be examining what it means to speak of postcolonial cities in Paris and London.

Supervision

I can supervise projects on:

  • Market-based environmental governance and policy
  • Social impacts of conservation
  • Critical political economy of the environment
  • Political ecology
