Teaching and Courses
I teach across four areas: modern Britain; women, gender, and sexuality; medicine and health; and historiography and historical methods. My courses explore various historical methodologies and practices, and I am particularly interested in getting students to think about the ways that historical narratives -- or the stories we tell about the past -- are constructed. I teach interactively, meaning students don't learn predominantly from lectures in my classes, but rather from discussions about and engagement with reading materials. I like to utilize the new technologies that are available in our classrooms and emphasize the use of images as important tools to understanding the ways people represent their ideas.
