Since 2007, I have taught a number of courses in U.S. history as well as topics in women’s, gender, and sexuality studies and public history. In my teaching, I often introduce students to museum studies opportunities on campus, regionally in Central New York, and across New York State.
I am especially interested in introducing undergraduate students to object-based learning and rare book and special collections research. For overviews of some of my course assignments in the archives, see:
- History in Public: Race, Gender, and Campus Memory (Bryn Mawr College, 2016)
- Higher Education for Women: Bryn Mawr and Beyond (Bryn Mawr College, 2015)
- Teaching Religion in the History of U.S. Sexuality (2013) and NOTCHES Back to School Special: Introducing Students to the History of Sexuality (2014)
- Women in the City, School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2014)
- “Queer Review” and “Desire for History,” profiling my course “Queer on the Quads: Uncovering LGBTQ History” (University of Chicago, 2012). A copy of that syllabus is linked on the Committee on LGBT History website.
- “Women’s Work,” profiling the course “Alma Mater: The History of Women at the University of Chicago,” which I designed and taught with Katherine Turk as part of the Experience of Women project (University of Chicago, 2008).
