TEACHING

My teaching is focused on experiential and student-led learning, with the goal of fostering genuine curiosity and affective connections with course material. I use alternative assignments such as site studies and field sketching  to help students draw connections between the world they inhabit and the history  we study in class. 

In 2023, I completed a Certificate in College and University Teaching from the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Innovation at the University of Pennsylvania.
