TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Fall 2023, Spring 2024 | Instructor: ENGL 2880: Expository Writing - Call of Duty: Feeling Masculine in the Crusading West
Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
Course Description: From medieval European crusading poems to the reboot of Activision’s Call of Duty® franchise, Western society’s perpetual “call of duty” has continually reimagined links between militancy, masculinity, and feelings. This course will examine cultural messages about what masculinity “feels” like, what men are “supposed” to do with their feelings, and what place feelings have in Western crusading culture. Exploring texts featuring men and feelings on and off the battlefield from medieval poetry, video games, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, and DC and Marvel, we’ll explore connections between gender, race, war, peace, and feelings. Maintaining a critical eye for propaganda, recruitment tactics, and military-funded media production, we’ll investigate Western cultural investments in linking masculinity and feelings and how our own media consumption potentially reinforces toxic standards.
Spring 2024 | Reader*: ENGL 2785 - Comic Books and Graphic Novels
Instructor: Greg Londe, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
*Position includes assisting with assignment grading, attending scheduled classes, completing readings according to the course syllabus, and corresponding with students about class material and assignments.
Course Description: POW! ZAP! DOOM! This is a class about how we can draw together,studying a medium that is based in the practice, in all senses, of "drawing together." We will read Pulitzer winning memoirs and NSFW gutter rubbish. We will trace the history of sequential art from about 1898 to the present, including caricature, pop art, and meme cultures, Wonder Woman and Wimmin's Comix, Archie and archives. Studying comics requires us to entangle disciplines and to make things: graphic design, marketing, media studies, law, education, and various illuminated cosmologies. What is this medium that teaches us to read the page anew, to speak in bubbles, to witness and play with apocalypse, to enjoy our suspension in the infinite, and to indulge in graphic sensations?
Fall 2023 | Reader*: ENGL 2270 - Shakespeare
Instructor: Philip Lorenz, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
*Position includes assisting with assignment grading, attending scheduled classes, completing readings according to the course syllabus, and corresponding with students about class material and assignments.
Course Description: The objective of this course is to give students a solid historical and critical grounding in Shakespeare’s work and its vibrant place in both early and late modern cultures. We will read some poetry and mainly plays to get a sense of the overall shape of Shakespeare’s career as it moves from the early comedies and histories through the tragedies to the late plays or romances. Specific plays include The Two Gentleman of Verona, Richard II, Henry IV, Part 1, Henry V, Hamlet, Measure for Measure Othello and The Tempest. We will encounter Shakespeare’s dramatic forms (genres), themes, and historical contexts. The course combines brief lectures and hands-on work in weekly discussions. The main focus of the course is on Shakespeare’s language and its extraordinary capacity to express continually changing human experiences. While we will view some scenes from film adaptations, the emphasis throughout is on careful close interaction with the language of the poems and plays.
Spring 2023 | Reader*: ENGL 3702 - Desire and Cinema
*Position includes assisting with assignment grading, attending scheduled classes, completing readings according to the course syllabus, and corresponding with students about class material and assignments.
Course Description: "The pleasure of the text," Roland Barthes writes, "is that moment when my body pursues its own ideas—for my body does not have the same ideas I do." What is this erotics of the text, and what has it been up to lately at the movies? Are new movies giving our bodies new ideas? In the context of the changing art of the moving image in the 21st-century, how might we read and revise classic works of psychoanalytic, feminist, and queer theory on erotic desire and cinema? We will focus especially on relatively recent metacinematic work, moviemaking about moviemaking, by such directors as Pedro Almodóvar, Olivier Assayas, Michael Haneke, Todd Haynes, David Lynch, Steve McQueen, and John Cameron Mitchell.
Fall 2022 | Reader*: 3080 - Icelandic Family Sagas
Instructor: Thomas Dana Hill, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
*Position includes assisting with assignment grading, attending scheduled classes, completing readings according to the course syllabus, and corresponding with students about class material and assignments.
Course Description: An introduction to Old Norse-Icelandic mythology and the Icelandic family sagas – the "native", heroic literary genres of Icelandic tradition. Texts will vary but will normally include the Prose Edda, the Poetic Edda, Hrafnkels Saga, Njáls Saga, Laxdaela Saga, and Grettir’s Saga. All readings will be in translation. The class counts toward the pre-1800 requirement for English majors.
Fall 2021, Spring 2022 | Instructor: ENGL 1111 - Writing Across Cultures: Monster Hunter Narratives
Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
Course Description: Where there are monsters, there are monster hunters, from Grendel and Beowulf to Dracula and Blade. What makes the hunter distinct from the monster? How do we represent the monster hunter, and their relationship to the monster? We will explore the monster hunter as portrayed in poetry, film and television, comics, and other media from different cultures. We’ll discuss what specific portrayals of the monster hunter “tell” us about culture, and how historical contexts, cultural contexts, and media constraints affect those “tellings.” We will explore writing cultures by crafting creative memos, reports, and tabloids alongside media analyses.
Spring 2022 | Reader*: ENGL 2785 - Comics and Graphic Novels

Fall 2020, Spring 2021 | Instructor: *ENGL 1134 - True Stories
Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
*Course taught as one of several with the same description. Individual section focused on developing skills for writing in targeted disciplines.
Course Description: How do we understand the reality of others? For that matter, how do we know and understand our own experience? One answer is writing: writing can crystalize lived experience for others. We can record our observations, our thoughts, our feelings and insights and hopes and failures, to communicate them, to understand them. In this course, we will read nonfiction narratives that explore and shape the self and reality, including the personal essay, memoir, autobiography, documentary film, and journalism. We will write essays that explore and explain these complex issues of presenting oneself and others.

Freelance Editor
I occasionally accept freelance academic editing projects. My editing work includes consultations regarding project complexity, client expectations, and turnaround. The majority of my clients are or have been fellow graduate students seeking more specific editing support than is traditionally available via writing center tutoring, and are often referred to me by writing center tutors. I have experience editing articles for publication, public facing writing, and dissertation chapters. I work most frequently with clients for whom English is an Additional Language (EAL). Work priced on a sliding scale.
