TEACHING

For classes I'm currently teaching, have recently taught, or am likely to teach again, I have posted recent syllabi on this page.

For tips and advice on approaching reading academic writing, approaching research, surviving graduate school, and tackling the academic job market, see my "Tips and Advice" page.
