In the last few years I have taught a variety of undergraduate classes, both in Communication and the Humanities.

Since the beginning of 2005 I have been involved with the Urban Archives project, which focuses on research and teaching in the areas of urban communication, visual analysis, digital archiving and visual research.

In spring 2006 I co-taught a special topics class with Prof. Phillip Thurtle in the Comparative History of Ideas program. The course was titled "Communication Matters: The Material History of Communication Practices". Here is the course website.

In winter 2006 I designed and taught a new course titled "Photography: Theoretical Reflections and Ethnographic Applications" for the UW Comparative History of Ideas program. Here are the course website and a UW Daily article about the class and Urban Archives.

As part of the UW Huckabay Teaching Fellowship, I designed and taught a new course for the UW Department of Communication, titled "Theoretical and Methodological Approaches to Visual Communication". Here are a description of the class and the course website.

As an instructor, in spring 2004 I taught COM 300 "Basic Concepts of New Media" in the UW Evening Degree Program. Here are a sample lecture and the course website.

In winter quarter 2005, I was awarded with a Teaching Assistantship by the UW Simpson Center for the Humanities for "Eye and Mind: Art, Science and Perception".
I worked with Prof. Elizabeth Rutledge (Diabetes Research Center, Molecular & Genetics Core) and Prof. Phillip Thurtle (Comparative History of Ideas) in one of the new Danz Courses in the Humanities. This course introduced interdisciplinary and comparative work to entering students, with a special focus on the relationship between science, art and philosophy. Students worked on creative final projects, and I mentored them extensively in this process. Here is a photo gallery of students' final projects, which they showed to the public during a "project fair".
