Teaching

An abbreviated list of courses that I have taught (or will teach) as well as various pedagogy-related publications, working groups, and awards are below. Outside of my affiliations to various higher education institutions, I also serve as an Associate Editor for Undisciplining the Victorian Classroom, a peer-reviewed publication focused on producing race-conscious curricular materials and lesson plans about the nineteenth century. For instance, my most recent project at UVC involved working with the "Palestine in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries" lesson plan cluster. A full CV is available upon request.
