CIVIL DIALOGUE TEACHING FELLOWS (Binghamton University, 2024 - 2025): During my first year at Binghamton University, I joined the Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) as an inaugural participant in the Civil Dialogue Teaching Fellows program. I worked with CCE Staff and a multidisciplinary faculty to develop best practices for supporting open dialogue and civil disagreement in and beyond the classroom. Some of CCE’s work was covered by The New York Times (“To Dial Down Campus Tensions, Colleges Teach the Art of Conversation,” December 14, 2024).

CATALYZING NEW YORK STATE CLIMATE SOLUTIONS COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE (SUNY/SEI, 2024 - 2025):
A collaboration between SUNY ESF and SEI’s Energize Colleges Program, the community of practice assembled SUNY faculty and staff with climate researchers, advocates, and professionals to explore global and NY State climate solutions. For my contribution to the community of practice, I developed a multidisciplinary syllabus for Communicating the Climate Crisis: Science, Policy, Art, and Activism. I was later invited to present on “Storytelling and Climate Communications” to SEI’s Climate Corps.

A.L.M. THESIS DIRECTION (Harvard Extension School, 2022 - 2025): During my time at Harvard, I began a collaboration with the Harvard Extension School’s ALM Degree Program, which has continued to the present. I’ve directed Masters of Liberal Arts Theses for five students, all of whom completed the program succesfully, and two of whom won the Dean’s Prize for Outstanding ALM Thesis (Jordan Benedict for “David Foster Wallace’s Ecologies of Mass Media” in 2023 and Emily Ryan for “The Digital Decline of Social Capital” in 2025).I also developed a research webinar for social science students in the Division of Continuing Education, “Making Your Sources Work for You.”

MINDICH PROGRAM FOR ENGAGED SCHOLARSHIP (Harvard University, 2019 - 2024): After receiving a grant from the Mindich Program to develop Engaged Scholarship-Expository Writing courses in 2018, I spearheaded an ongoing collaboration between Mindich and the Harvard College Writing Program. I developed three unique courses with community engagement components: “Democracy in Action,” in collaboration with City of Cambridge Participatory Budgeting, as well as “The 2020 Election and American Democracy” and “Student Activism and Social Change,” both of which generated public resources for the campus community. I also contributed to a working group that supported Writing Program faculty in developing and implementing Engaged Scholarship curricula.

BASS CONNECTIONS / HUMANITIES WRIT LARGE PROJECT - “THE LANGUAGE OF GENOCIDE AND HUMAN RIGHTS” (Duke University, 2014 - 2015): As a doctoral candidate at Duke, I served as a researcher and undergraduate project supervisor for a year-long faculty-student collaboration convened by the Kenan Institute for Ethics and the Duke Human Rights Center to explore the history of the concept of genocide and its application in international law. My independently researched and written field paper, “The Language of Genocide and Human Rights: Naming, Judging, Acting,” framed the working group’s year-long inquiry. I also supported year-long undergraduate projects and organized the undergraduate panel for the culminating Language of Genocide Workshop.
