Teaching
Adjunct Faculty
I have almost 20 years of teaching and curriculum design experience (as Natalie Evans) at multiple Universities and Colleges, including the University of Guelph, Guelph-Humber, the University of Waterloo, and Wilfrid Laurier University. I have also taught at Humber College, Sheridan College and Contestoga College. I've also taught at the Institute for Humane Education in the USA as a graduate degree faculty member (environmental ethics).
In addition to teaching in-person, I've also designed and written many online and distance education courses for Universities and Colleges, as well as teaching them online.
My own intellectual curiosity has inspired me to teach within Philosophy but also across disciplines, including Media Studies, Political Science and Arts & Sciences for example. I've also supervised thesis students at both the Graduate and Undergraduate levels.
