Teaching is at the heart of my work at Butler University and is vital to my work as an intellectual and scholar. I am constantly looking for new projects and opportunities for students to ‘get their hands dirty’ in the archive and in working to share what they are learning with audiences beyond our classroom.

Upcoming Courses
