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-three terms 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.
  

• We meet 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.”

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"—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 present at the time of their making.
