Teaching

“I really enjoyed the course and found it engaging, ambitious, and trusting of its students to pace themselves. While I had no background knowledge on the topic, I now feel well-versed and confident in entering discussions and texts of adjacent concerns.”

“This course has been a comfortable and challenging entrance to a new field of research (the health humanities), which provided a comprehensive reading list and a very engaging format. The course felt fresh, interesting, and safe.”

“I experienced firsthand how literary and cultural analysis can be implemented actively for the improvement of contemporary issues such as mental health, and how important it is to remain critical about how we write and represent these issues, and for whom.”

“One of my favorite courses among the ones I’ve taken for the Master’s: a varied and exciting reading list, excellent teaching and discussions in class, and secondary readings that challenged and inspired me!”

“Overall, the experience was very positive because it stood out from all the literature courses I had taken before, and reading into lived experiences of mental illness gave me a better understanding.”

“The combination of theory, primary sources, and personal interpretation was really well-balanced.”
