Teaching

In my teaching and mentoring, I inspire students to consider how technological innovations and infrastructures have impacted cultures of reading and writing, exploring questions at the intersection of science, technology, and literature.

I have taught graduate-level courses in digital humanities, literary research methods, and rhetorical corpus analysis, and undergraduate courses that span science fiction studies, literary criticism and theory, utopian literature, classical reception studies, and the history of humanities computing. In the future, I would be excited to teach or direct readings in areas such as game studies, literature and science, computation and literary criticism, and narratives of AI.
