“Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.”
​– Chinese Proverb

Teaching Experience

I believe the best way to learn is to teach! In the past, I have taught many undergraduate courses for the Department of Sociology, Media Studies, and Study Abroad Programs at the University of Virginia. Here is a list of courses for which I was the sole instructor.

Gender & Sexuality ​

​​This course surveys the literature in Sociology of Gender, with an emphasis on how the assumption of fundamental gender difference and politics of gender inequality are related.

Media, Culture & Society

​This course applies sociology and media theory to yield knowledge and understanding about media institutions and media practices. 

Digital Culture & Social Media

This course explores the social, cultural and political dimensions of digital media, with particular attention to the prevalence of social media.
