I started teaching when I was a graduate student at Cornell. For the Comparative Literature department there, I taught the freshman seminars “Friendship, Love, Community: Relations after Facebook,” “The Future of Religion Is Here and Now: Thinking the Postsecular,” and “Touching Literature.” As a Mellon Fellow at Tufts, I taught the course “Introduction to Contemporary French Thought,” which received a Significant Impact nomination.
At the National University of Singapore, I have taught the following courses:
World Literature - Theories, Methods, Texts
Sick Lit - Illness in Literature
The Genealogy of Affect Theory
Autotheory and Contemporary Autofiction
Reader-Responsibility: From Reader-Response Theories to “Postcritique”
Literary Rejects
Rethinking Failure in the 21st Century
Critical Reading: Touch in Literature
I also supervise Honors and M.A theses on most of the above topics as well as on queer theory, continental thought, and contemporary literature.
At Emory, these are the courses I’m offering:
