My graduate coursework and TA positions have prepared me to teach introductory classes on media studies, digital media, television, film, and critical and cultural theory. I am particularly qualified to incorporate a focus on feminist and queer theory and topics into course design. I aspire to develop new and innovative classes analogous to my seminar "TV on the Internet," which could cover subjects including media convergence, television industry and audiences, transmedia franchises, fan cultures, virtual communities, online video, and transformative works. Such classes could involve production training for beginners in video editing, audio editing, graphic design, and web design. I am comfortable with a wide range of learning formats, from large lecture courses to seminars to individual mentoring.
