• I joined 赌博娱乐平台网址大全 as the Assistant Director of the Collaborative for Learning and 教学 in 2018. My office bookshelf reveals a seemingly strange combination of interests as scholarship on the horror genre sits next to books on the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). 对我来说, 虽然, the connecting thread is the reoccurring role that spoken and unspoken anxieties--whether in a horror 电影 or in the classroom--play in shaping our 虽然ts and ideas. 作为体裁学者, I am interested specifically in how horror (文学, 电影, and games) expresses larger cultural concerns about place.  My SoTL work focuses on using a model of transparency to embrace, 而不是忽视, underlying tensions--such as procrastination--at the heart of learning and teaching.

    In my work with students and in the courses I teach here at 赌博娱乐平台网址大全, I see collaboration and conversation as key to developing critical thinking and communication skills. 我主持播客 这样的噩梦, 和现在赌博娱乐平台网址大全的学生, in which we analyze horror texts through a various theoretical frameworks. This year, I will be teaching a course on the home in American horror. As part of the "Creative Expression" component of the Pathway curriculum, this class allows me to combine my love of horror with my interest in creativity studies. 作为助理署长, I relish opportunities to help faculty—through programming, 事件, and consultations—realize the best versions of themselves as professors and scholars. My ongoing SoTL project is a podcast entitled 玩ing the Sandbox: Conversations in Pedagogy, in which I explore the practice of play as a method for developing curiosity and agency in our students.
