BRIEF OVERVIEW OF DISCIPLINES & COURSES TAUGHT

Comparative Literature Courses: I’ve taught survey courses and self-designed courses on literature and illness, dreams and the literary imagination, and crime fiction, among others.

French Language Courses: I have experience teaching beginning and intermediate levels, which I taught using short stories, historical documents, pop songs, and other content.

Writing and Composition Courses: I have over five years of teaching experience in this field. I am well-versed in teaching students how to pose analytical questions, engage in research, how to analyze texts (literary and non literary), as well as how to formulate an interesting and arguable thesis based on evidence.

Future courses: I would like to draw on my expertise both in Comparative Literature and in teaching writing to design and teach courses on ekphrastic poetry, international crime fiction, Mediterranean women writers, poetry and science.
