Introduction to the Emerging Media Studies program, Boston University.

 

My philosophy towards teaching is simple: Challenge students with relevant work that extends beyond the classroom. In pursuing that goal I was named the inaugural Division of Emerging Media Studies Teacher of the Year at Boston University, and I have led learners of all ages and abilities in real world and laboratory settings.  

To that end, I have taught a wide variety of courses in unique institutions and settings (see below) where students received extensive training in not only theorizing and developing digital content, but also coming to analyze and understand their online audience members as contributors.  Through these classes that are more about cultivation rather than hand-holding, many of my students have gone on to advanced positions in leading media, research, and governmental organizations as editors, analysts, and creators as well as to programs of advanced graduate and doctoral study.

A summary of my student evaluations is available here and a list of approximately 30 unsolicited student endorsements is here.
