Teaching

I do miss teaching. I left the classroom circa 2007.

The closest thing I've done lately is work on An Ed-Tech Guide (link), and I keep threatening to turn this into a "course" and not just "course content." I also facilitated a workshop in October 2012 at THATCamp Hybrid Pedagogy on "Publishing Outside the Academy (and Publishing Outside the Academy About the Academy)." (link) So maybe... maybe... you can say I still teach writing.

As a graduate student at the University of Oregon, I taught classes in Folklore, Composition, English, Women's Studies, and Comparative Literature. Below are syllabi for a few of the courses I designed and taught, with links to PDFs and to GitHub repositories which you are free, of course, to download or fork.

  • (Women & Gender Studies 399) Feminist Science Fiction:  Monsters, Cyborgs, and Women (GithubPDF)
  • (Comparative Literature 103) Introduction to Comparative Literature:  Visual Cultures (GithubPDF)
