I teach in the Department of History and Philosophy at the University of Hartford. My courses focus on the study of race, gender, and sexuality in the United States.
During the 2026–27 Academic Year, I will be offering a special year-long seminar for Honors Students at the University of Hartford: “Gender Trouble: Thinking Beyond the Binary.” This course will be sponsored by UHart’s Humanities Center.
