Teaching

I teach in the Photography Department at the Mason Gross School of Arts at Rutgers University, The State University of New Jersey.

I am honored to join the team of Diane Neumaier, Martha Rosler (retired fall 2010), Gary Schneider, Miranda Lichtenstein, Tony Masso and LaToya Frazier. The faculty of Mason Gross School of Visual Arts Rutgers, The State University of NJ are impressive. Ardele Lister, Barbara Madsen, Stephen Westfall, Toby MacGuire, Hanneline Rogeberg, Gerry Beegan, Julie Langsam, Marc Handelman, Patrick Strezlec, Jackie Thaw, Atif Arkin, John Yau and Ralphael Ortiz are just some of my new colleagues. Indeed, they are also wonderful artists with incredibly impressive art practices. I am in very good company. 

I am able to teach all levels of photography both graduate and undergraduate, traditional, hybrid and digital whilst addressing critical issues in photography and photography history. A specialty class I will teach in the spring of 2012 is the 'Photography Seminar' which encompasses all things theory and critical in terms of the anxious nature of photography. Also in 2012, I am teaching Photography 3B and Advanced Photography where I'll be working closely with upper level students and those undertaking their thesis exhibitions. In the Fall of 2012 I'll be teaching Digital Photography incorporating lighting. 

I also specialize in career development in the arts for students who are graduating. 

As of the Summer of 2010, I wound up my teaching at the School of Art and Design at East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina where  I was formerly the Area Co-ordinator for Photography at the School of Art and Design. I taught several undergraduate courses such as the Photography Survey (digital hybrid), Introduction to Black and White Photography, Intermediate Black and White Photography and an upper level photography course called Concepts and Processes in Photography. I mentored senior undergraduate students and graduate students. A highlight from my time at ECU was in the 2009 first summer session, I co-led a study abroad trip to England and Scotland with my dear colleague and friend Dr Kate LaMere.
