Consulting
Are you and your work legible to your institution?
What is with this seemingly-untranslatable gap between “practice” and “scholarship?” Academic bodies (including universities, museums, and funding organizations) speak in a very specialized language. I can help you translate your experience, skills, and interests across that seemingly foggy divide.
CV Overhaul
Are you applying for tenure and promotion, or looking for a new teaching job? Are you wanting to be better understood by your institution?
Designers have long been sidelined in academic spaces because they just don’t understand what we do. And the reality is - they’re not going to figure us out, so we have to figure THEM out, and translate what we do into the language they use.
I’ll take your design resume and re-package it as an academic CV, following standard guidelines for things like formatting, peer-review, and service to the field.
Teaching
Are you looking to up your teaching game? Are you limited by your institutions teaching resources? I work one-on-one with you towards your personal teaching goals.
Course Design: If you’ve never designed a new class before, how do you even start? We can build from the ground up towards matching your teaching goals with your target students.
Syllabus Review: You and I work together on your syllabus to move it to the next level.
Empathy-Centered teaching: Are you overwhelmed by this talk of trauma and cancel culture, and what to do with trigger warnings, land acknowledgements, mandatory pronoun sharing, or positionality statements? Let’s work together to create responses that feel like the right fit for you, your students, and your class.
Backwards course design: Are you stuck in a lecture rut? Are you having a hard time letting go of old class structures? Let’s work together to create a student-focused course plan that builds out from their experiences rather than your expertise.
Remote teaching strategies: Are you looking to up your remote teaching practices? I can work with you to create fluid, collaborative, online spaces that feel grounded, connected, and efficient.
