TEACHING

​Since 2005, I have taught courses in academic research writing in the Department of Writing & Rhetoric at Oakland University -- a university in the Great Lakes region of North America (Michigan, USA).  I have also taught courses in the study of creativity (2011-2016), along with interdisciplinary approaches to spiritual and related phenomena (2016-2021), in OU's interdisciplinary studies program and in The Honors College.  In my writing courses, I lead rhetorical analyses; teach basic writing and digital composition; and facilitate open-inquiry, student-centered research projects.
