Teaching
Comparative Literature 12 - Introduction to World Drama (one section, about 20 students)
This general education course focuses on dramatic texts in global, cross-temporal contexts. My approach to this course introduces students to literary, visual, and performance aspects of theatrical texts. Students critically engage with multiple definitions of “World Drama” alongside themes of travel, representation, and colony.
English 15 - Rhetoric and Composition (three sections, about 24 students)
In my three sessions of teaching Rhetoric and Composition, I have taught from two department syllabi, and one syllabus of my own design. My familiarity with a variety of methods to teach this course has allowed me to develop a tight and instructive course.
