Teaching

An abbreviated list of courses that I have taught and various pedagogy-related publications, working groups, and awards are below. I am generally interested in teaching courses related to my research (19C-contemporary literature, race, empire, postcolonial and decolonial theory, critical theory, etc) or courses about digital humanities, technology, and writing and composition. I also serve as a Co-Director 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.
