Currently, I am visiting faculty at the University of Iowa (Iowa City, IA) as part of the Museum Studies Certificate program, one of the longest running such programs in the United States (since 1910).

• I teach in-person and online classes for undergraduates, including the certificate’s core course, “Introduction to Museum Studies” (MUSM 3001), and elective courses such as “Historic House Management & Preservation” (MUSM 3100), “Exhibition Planning” (MUSM 3004), and “Museums in a Digital World” (MUSM 3125).

• Each course utilizes on-campus museums such as the University of Iowa Museum of Natural History, the Old Capitol Museum, and the Stanley Museum of Art.

I teach Writing-Intensive classes for undergraduate students from Temple University (Philadelphia) who come to Los Angeles as part of a semester-long study away program.

• These courses (twenty-four semesters taught to date) analyze the history and popular image of Los Angeles and emphasize the work of writers who have described Southern California from the nineteenth century to today.
  

• The course, “L.A. Culture” (FMA 3696), meets in a different part of the region each week, connecting readings with the places that produce the city’s overall culture and ethos. Informed by historical precedents of on-site instruction and the legacy of psychogeography, as well as radical geography and the “city as classroom,” my students reorient familiar clichés of Los Angeles toward critique of the narratives surrounding the city.
  

• During 2020–21, I taught an alternative online writing class for three semesters: “A Fresh Start: The Role of Reinvention in the History and Culture of California.” This course focused on the notion of reimagining one’s self and circumstances in the context of California and the mechanisms that have sustained such convictions since the colonial era.

Over five semesters, I taught Art History classes for undergraduate students from Elon University (North Carolina) who came to Los Angeles as part of a semester-long study away program.

• These courses—"Issues in L.A. Art and Architecture" (ARH 3000)—engaged with the art and architectural history of the region through the lenses of geography and urban studies, emphasizing how cultural production in Los Angeles since the 1880s became, in part, dependent upon which version of the city the respective artists and architects were practicing within.
  

• Through field trips to exhibitions and architectural landmarks, as well as guided writing projects, students learned to analyze individual works of art and architecture as well as the corresponding forces in L.A. history and urban planning present at the time of their making.
