“The classroom remains the most radical space of possibility in the academy”

Current Courses
My teaching is feminist, anti-racist and intersectional at its core, and I strive to foster critical skills in a context of curiosity, inclusivity, and excellence. I am proud to be part of the transformative work of liberal arts education.
I teach the following courses for the Women’s, Gender & Sexuality Studies Program at Lafayette: Introduction to Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Gender and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), Feminist Theory, Queer Theory, and Sexuality Studies. In the Lafayette English Department, I teach Literary Women and The Victorians.
