Teaching Experience

As a professor of English and American Culture Studies, I have taught courses in nineteenth- and twentieth-century and contemporary American literature and popular culture, American Studies, and literary theory and cultural studies. I led campus experiments in digital humanities work relating to digital curation in the classroom, leading to a co-authored article in the journal Pedagogy. In June 2020, I was part of an interdisciplinary team awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities grant for a project entitled “Towards a Pedagogy from Crisis: Adaptive Teaching and Learning at Bowling Green State University During COVID-19.” From 2017-2018, I served as a member of the Education Advisory Committee of the Digital Public Library of America
