About Dave

Bio

I am a PhD student at McGill University, living in Vermont USA.  My research interests include critical pedagogy, narrative writing, and teacher education.  I teach at community college in the States, and in the Department of Integrated Studies at McGill.  My research, writing, and teaching looks to bridge the gap between theory and practice in education.  Check out www.daveamsden.com. Similar interests?  Resources to share?dave.amsden@mcgill.ca
