She has also co-designed and -facilitated the Migrantour network's intercultural companion training (2021-), the Centre for Unusual Collaboration's (CUCo) Spark Interdisciplinary Learning Journey (2022) for academic researchers, the Roots Guide (2022) for general audiences, and the Roots Guide Educational Toolkit (2023) for use in formal and informal learning environments. 

Meghann has 15+ years of experience as an educator and researcher in American, British, Dutch and Portuguese universities. With a PhD in Human Geography, she has taught and published extensively on timely issues related to the production of knowledge, participatory action research, transformative learning, arts-based methods for collaboration and dialogue, migration and travel, diversity and inclusion, heritage and health care.
