Students will improve their understanding of the geography of Oceania.

Example: Languages, food, animals, and more.
My expertise lies in the Social Sciences, so I am excited to teach Social Studies related courses. I hold a BA and an MPhil in Sociology and currently pursuing a graduate degree in Education. I enjoy learning and teaching about countries, and the elements of their cultures. In this class, lessons do not go in depth into specific details about tribes and their practices.
