My teaching focuses on media theory and history, vintage and obsolete computing, software (especially video game) preservation, and experimental modes of writing and storytelling. On the one hand, I consider myself a traditionalist: my classes tend to circle around the time-honored strategies of closely reading and debating (theoretical, creative, historical) texts. But on the other hand, all of my classes feature some aspect of hands-on critical and creative work, whether it’s learning how to take apart and repair old Macintoshes, experiment with cyanotype printing, or plain old-fashioned soldering.
