One Practice/Teaching

Teaching, Curriculum
& Research Design.

Teaching is where my research comes alive, not just a framework on paper but a classroom that takes its questions seriously.

David speaking at a lectern

I work with institutions that want to build programs rooted in intellectual honesty and genuine engagement with their learners, from universities, colleges, and seminaries to the NGOs and international bodies that run teaching programs of their own. My work draws directly from my own research and from teaching my own courses at Emmanuel College, University of Toronto, where I earned my doctorate and where I read ethics through colonial history, economic structures, and cultural difference. Designing a curriculum and standing in front of it are, for me, the same craft. Before teaching my own courses, I served as a teaching assistant across five graduate courses, from Indigenous Relationships to Counselling and Spiritual Care Practice.
