Teaching

  • Yes. All my courses are writing- and speaking-intensive. You will need to interact with me and your classmates in lectures and seminars.
  • No. I do not upgrade a 200-level topical history course to a 300-level research seminar/colloquium because they are marked with different course levels for a reason. I design and teach them differently. I have only made two exceptions within the module system in the pandemic of 2020-1, but I do not intend to make more exceptions.
  • I work with students who wish to explore their own interests in independent studies in the History Department and the Asian Studies Program.
