Teaching

As Instructor of Record, I've taught courses at several different levels, ranging from undergraduate to graduate to high school.

• At CSU Long Beach:

  • The Nature of Language (LING 100, intro-level undergraduate critical thinking course)

  • Language and Social Justice (LING 472, upper-division undergraduate writing-intensive capstone)

  • Discourse Analysis (LING 422/522, mixed grad/undergrad seminar)

• At UC Santa Barbara:

  • Language and Power (LING 50, large intro-level undergraduate lecture) (syllabus)

  • Language in Society (LING 70, small intro-level undergraduate seminar) (syllabus)

  • Sociocultural Linguistics (LING 131, large upper-division undergraduate lecture, taught remotely due to COVID-19) (syllabus)

  • Teaching Assistant Training Seminar (LING 505, graduate-level)

• Through the UC Santa Barbara SKILLS program:

  • Special Topics in Spanish (SPAN 282, California Lutheran University)

  • Language and Society (ANTH 104, Santa Barbara City College)

During my time at UC Santa Barbara, I served as a Teaching Assistant for the following courses:

• Introduction to Linguistics (LING 20)

• Language in Society (LING 70)

• Sociocultural Linguistics (LING 131)

• Language, Gender, and Sexuality (LING 132)

• Second Language Acquisition (LING 141)

• Language, Race, and Ethnicity (LING 180)

• Language, Power, and Learning (CHST/EDUC/LING 187)

From 2014-2018, I also taught a college-level sociocultural linguistics/linguistic anthropology course to local youth through the UC Santa Barbara School Kids Investigating Language in Life and Society (SKILLS) program. In Santa Barbara, I taught this course at a public high school (2015) and a youth center (2014). In Oxnard, CA, I've implemented the course with the incredible Tequio Youth Group at the Mixteco/Indígena Community Organizing Project (2016, 2017, and 2018).
