I have worked with undergraduates and graduate students in a diverse set of courses across the disciplines of anthropology, geography, sociology, medicine, and environmental studies.
As a Visiting Instructor in the department of Anthropology at Wesleyan University, I taught two self-designed courses: Cultural Politics of the Body and Politics of Reproduction (crosslisted in Science and Society). These interdisciplinary courses centered questions of reproductive autonomy, power, and biopolitics in our current political time. Classes employed artmaking, guest speakers, original research, memoir writing, and experiential and ethnographic assignments.

As a postdoctoral fellow, I have the opportunity to instruct medical students in the Perelman School of Medicine on how to think through medicine’s complex social-ethical issues. These intensives use case studies and roleplaying to help future doctors ask and answer tough questions.
