In her teaching and research, she is interested in the complex relationship between young children and nature in urban settings. In her post-secondary teaching, with her students, she is examining and reflecting on the human desires to respond to nature and to be belonged, regardless of the circumstances. She is also blogging on children’s everyday experiences with nature and the senses that they are making of them. She can be contacted at farveh.ghafouri@senecacollege.ca
