About Me:
I teach a variety of English courses to many inquisitive and insightful students. I have taught for a decade and have developed a record of excellent and effective teaching. I also have greatly enjoyed helping students as they grow intellectually and emotionally when grappling with complex and thought-provoking works of literature.  

Additionally, I seek to understand how past responses to surveillance can inform our own methods of responding to unprecedented technological innovation and a concomitant proliferation of surveillance tactics. Just as early modern England (and Ovid's Rome) dealt with the nascent availability of cheap paper and the invention of the printing press, which enabled government surveillance, our age must respond to innovation in the realm of digital technology and the subsequent use of that technology by governments, corporations, and individuals for the purpose of conducting surveillance. By studying past efforts to register the effect surveillance has on culture, I hope to better understand how surveillance warps the ways we communicate, interpret, and think.
