I am a passionate and student-centered instructor dedicated to facilitating critical conversations about digital media infrastructures, industries, and cultures. I have taught 11 undergraduate courses, 4 graduate courses, and 1 continuing education course. Before joining Seton Hall, I previously taught at major North American research universities and small, regional liberal arts colleges. I love being in the classroom and guiding students on their intellectual, scholarly, and professional journeys.
Undergraduate courses adopt a critical/cultural approach to media industries and infrastructures, attuned to the intersections of race, class, gender, and disability. Graduate courses have focused on diversity in cultural organizations and histories of digital media, in addition to graduate professionalization. At all levels of instruction, I lead my classrooms with humility and openness to guide my students to think, talk, and produce written and creative work that expresses comprehension of digital media and contemporary cultural issues.
