I have developed and taught a range of courses in English and American Studies, focused primarily on contemporary fiction, confessional writing, pop culture, and gender and sexuality studies. Syllabi, worksheets, and slides are available to download below. Please share and use wherever they're useful.
Syllabi
Introduction to Gender & Sexuality Studies
A second-year, year-long theme module, meant as an introduction to using gender, sexuality, and queer theories in literary studies.
The Modern Short Story
A third-year, single semester option module. Half historical survey (19th-century to present); half generic and formal study (short story collections, cycles, science fiction, and digital stories).
TMI: Confessional Writing
A third-year, single semester option module, using a variety of autobiographical forms (confessions, diaries, letters, comics, pop music) to explore the politics of confession.
