I am committed to problem-based pedagogy as a teacher, whether in independent secondary or college classrooms. Rather than delivering content, my goal is to get students to formulate their own complex historical and anthropological questions, and then develop their academic skills as they seek answers to those questions.

At Messiah University, I have taught both halves of the United States history survey, an anthropology course on Native American Cultures, as well as first-year seminars focused on the depictions of American Indians in film.

At the Stone Independent School, I design and teach numerous courses, all rooted in problem-based pedagogy. Highlights include a course on 20th-century political ideologies titled Isms, a course on historical representation in video games, Postcolonialisms, advanced methods courses centering on oral history and social network analysis, as well as a course titled Critical Cartography.
