Teaching
I enjoy teaching widely in early medieval literature and culture, from introductory Old English to a community-engaged learning course on "Refugee Literature Then and Now," for which my Spring 2019 class worked together on a collaborative book project and related efforts, such as the video to the right.
I am committed to pedagogy and mentorship and have written about revivifying Old English verse for beginning students in an essay in Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Teaching. I am also a three-time winner of Harvard's Certificate of Distinction and Excellence in Teaching and a former Teaching Fellow for the Breakthrough Collaborative in Norfolk, VA. |
