This winter I  am teaching a course titled "Critical Media Practice and the Production of Everyday Spaces" in the CHID department at the University of Washington. View the course website here.

In the fall of 2011 I led a study abroad program in Berlin with Prof. John Toews from the University of Washington, titled "The City as Media." Visit the the CHID Berlin blog to see more of what we did.

I have also taught art history survey, writing, and architectural history courses at the City College of New York, and I have worked with underserved teens and elementary school students on basic writing and math skills in Brooklyn, New York. See my CV for more details about my teaching experience.

My teaching philosophy centers around creating an open, collaborative classroom culture. I believe that when students feel they have knowledge that is worth sharing, and they can see how this knowledge benefits others, they become more responsible for their own learning. I also firmly believe that the scholarly questions we pursue in academia should be relevant to students' daily lives, encouraging them to become critical, curious and engaged with the world around them through research.
