Area(s) of Expertise
I have two primary interests in teaching: content-based classes and literature. The university as part of the larger community is what led to my desire to work with the first. I designed two Spanish classes: Spanish for Health Professions and Spanish for Social Work as a result. My colleague, Ana Gray, and I converted the Spanish for Health Professions course to an on-line course in 2013.
Regarding my interest in literature, my specialization in the doctoral program was Jewish Literature in Medieval Spain. This is an area that continues to fascinate me.
