Over the past decade I’ve taught across writing seminars, media production courses, and interdisciplinary clusters, bridging critical theory and hands-on practice in equal measure. I hold a graduate certificate in Writing Pedagogy from UCLA, and was selected as a Collegium of University Teaching Fellow (CUTF), a recognition for excellence in undergraduate teaching. My teaching spans UCLA’s Interdisciplinary Cluster Program (Data Justice and Society) as well as summer intensives in media production, alongside writing-based seminars during the regular academic year — from a Critical Media Literacy seminar examining platform capitalism and algorithmic bias, to a hands-on Video Skills and Techniques course in ethical visual documentation and ethnographic filmmaking. Across all of these, I give students critical-making assignments — video essays, digital portfolios, fieldwork-based projects — that put theory into practice rather than leaving it abstract.
Sample syllabi available upon request.
An intensive writing seminar on platform capitalism, algorithmic bias, and global streaming architectures, with critical-making assignments translating theory into multimodal video essays and digital portfolios; integrates generative-AI literacy, training students to audit LLMs for data bias and representational gaps.
Media production course in ethical visual documentation and ethnographic filmmaking, bridging critical media theory with hands-on digital editing.
Interdisciplinary syllabus on Global South environmental histories and the visual representation of marginalized agrarian communities.
Teaching Assistant Consultant (TAC), UCLA Graduate Division (2025–2026) — facilitates the Graduate Teaching Assistant Seminar university-wide, training incoming instructors in inclusive grading, transparent curriculum design, and classroom management.
My teaching bridges critical theory and hands-on practice — students in my courses don’t just read about platform capitalism, algorithmic bias, or ethnographic method, they build things: video essays, digital portfolios, fieldwork-based projects. I bring the same commitment to transparency and access that shapes my archival work into the classroom, particularly through inclusive grading design and curriculum that makes room for first-generation and underrepresented students to bring their own frameworks into contact with the material.
