Aca(diy)mia: Making Zines, Remaking Worlds

I am an experienced zine maker, researcher and teacher. I teach zines in my composition classes and have taught zine-making alongside resettled refugee teens for the past two years with ARYSE, a Pittsburgh, PA-based NGO. I also am experienced with teaching and facilitating in online and hybrid modalities, including synchronous online courses with ARYSE, Carnegie Mellon University, and Youth UnMuted, asynchronous online courses with collective.aporia, and hybrid courses with Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh.
