Since 2007, I’ve taught literature and writing courses at the University of New Mexico–Gallup (Zuni), the University of Pittsburgh, Hartwick College, SUNY Cobleskill, and SUNY Oneonta. My record of teaching reflects my broad range of interests. I have offered surveys of US and hemispheric American literature and poetry, introductions to popular culture, period courses on modernist traditions, first-year seminars in composition, and more. Students say they leave my courses better prepared to approach with a critical eye the texts they encounter in the classroom and beyond.
