I Teach . . .

• English through Interdisciplinary Studies which may combine courses such as Economics, Literature, and Composition
• Interdisciplinary Studies which may combine Anthropology, Drama, English, and Multicultural Studies
• Film as Literature
• Expository Writing
• Written Expression

In addition . . .
I am the faculty adviser to the Bellevue Community College literary magazine, Arnazella.

My Philosophy of Teaching is always developing, but I share some of the aims of Alfred North Whitehead:

The students are alive, and the purpose of education is to stimulate and guide their self-development. It follows as a corollary from this premise, that teachers also should be alive with living thoughts . . . The Aims of Education

My Teaching Philosophy
Professional Stuff
A Sample Syllabus
Personal (but not too personal) Stuff

Ice Cream in America

. . . always forgets her pills, reverses herself, takes some.
The hen thinks chicks,
the man in the moon, profile: a piece
of the undoctored action.

We wake up, admire the day,
let our shoes take us where they will.
The weather's glorious:
a real shine.

Fill your cap with nuts.
