What I talk about when I talk about my teaching
I teach in the Department of Communication and Media Studies at Fordham University. My courses deal with surveillance, privacy, digital culture, resistance, and the politics of technology — topics that are both academically rich and, increasingly, personally urgent for most people living with a smartphone. I also teach a course on AI ethics, examining how artificial intelligence reshapes power, accountability, and what it means to act responsibly in algorithmic environments.
My classrooms work best when students come prepared to think out loud, disagree respectfully, and take ideas seriously without taking themselves too seriously. I try to do the same.
If you are a current or prospective student, the pages linked here cover what you need: syllabi, lecture slides, writing resources, citation guidance, and my inclusivity policy. There is also a page on how to communicate with faculty without making them quietly despair, which I recommend reading early.
