I hope to offer space that situates students and professor as co-learners. I encourage students to be open to class activities and exercises while asking questions, challenge assumptions, and critically examining the ideas we discuss. Self-reflection and saying \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d are tools I value. I expect to be wrong sometimes, and so should students. Recognizing these moments and learning from them allows us to grow together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Courses Taught<\/h3>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 4\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>OCCT 770: Occupational Science- This course provides an introduction to Occupational Science and its relevance to Occupational Therapy. Students learn habits of scholarly and critical inquiry to understand participation in occupation as a complex transaction of temporal, sociocultural, political, individual, and community factors. Students are introduced to theories of action, identity and balance, as well as how culture, gender, age, community, racism, objects, place, spirituality, and ideas about health influence and emergence through the performance of occupation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 4\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>OCCT 836: Community Level Occupational Therapy Practice- The purpose of this course is to introduce students to practice-oriented toward community change and to provide an experiential learning opportunity for students to contribute to and design a real-world transformative solution to a community or organizational program supported by an occupational lens. Situated through a lens of justice and critical perspectives, students conduct a capacity assessment with a local community using an occupational perspective to subsequently design an occupation-based intervention that targets an identified need.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Research Interests<\/h3>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 13\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Community Occupational Therapy Practice, Community Program Development and Implementation, Aging, Housing, Antiracism and Queer Liberation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Recent Publications<\/h3>\n<p>Lavalley, R.
