Hello,
I currently teach in the English Department at BMCC where I have been employed for nine years, and I’ve been working and teaching within CUNY for nearly 16 years. My readings and approaches to teaching have not changed a lot over time, and I think that creating an OpenLab class site would be a great way to connect outside of the classroom with our population of students who seem to be more interested in doing more of their discussions and assignments outside of the in-person classroom setting. This month I’m looking forward to a short getaway from my cramped apartment and NYC to a cabin in the woods in Narrowsburg, NY. I’m currently reading Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado and the memoir Class Class: A Memoir of Motherhood, Hunger, and Higher Education by Stephanie Land which I’m reviewing for Bust Magazine . In general, I hope this summer allots me more time for both writing and reading as well as some pedagogical evolving.
