Teaching

I teach courses supporting undergraduate, MA, MFA, and PhD programs in art history, studio art, digital arts, and media/art/culture. I have a particular interest in project based learning, team-teaching, and pedagogies that mix history, theory, and hands-on experimentation.

This year Iā€™m developing a new course with my colleague Alan Calder, a computational astrophysicist, on the history of astronomical visualization. It will bring together undergraduate artists, art historians, and astronomy majors to examine and create representations of the cosmos.
