At RIT, I teach in both the English Department and the Humanities, Computing, and Design program, anchoring my courses with historical material that prompts students to complicate familiar concepts and ways of knowing. I often shape my courses around the relationship between the digital and the physical:
- analyzing Margaret Cavendish’s Blazing World using a digital commonplace book assignment
- combining letterpress printing workshops with digital archive exploration to teach media archaeology
- studying the Shakespearean sonnet form through XML and text encoding practice
My goal as an instructor is to help students think transnationally and interdisciplinarily through inclusive, project-based pedagogy. Below you’ll find examples of syllabi from some recent courses at RIT and the University of Kansas.
