Teaching

COLLEGE-LEVEL SEMINAR AND STUDIO COURSES
I have taught college-level courses on modern and contemporary art and painting at Virginia Commonwealth University and the Metropolitan State University of Denver, and have guest lectured on contemporary art, African Diaspora art, African American art, and Trinidad's Carnival and Festival arts at various institutions in the U.S. and abroad. At the Center for Visual Arts at the Metropolitan State University of Denver, I draw on critical pedagogy, close looking, and Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) to facilitate object-based study in studio art classes.

In the interdisciplinary, museum-based undergraduate seminar The Human Condition: An Arts Perspective, I supported instructors of record in exploring the museum as an experiential learning site in response to thematic concerns about the human condition (war, emotion, fear, othering, rituals surrounding death, suffering, the body) and conducted in-depth scholarly research to adapt the course into a classroom-based seminar.
