Teaching and Pedagogy
My approach to teaching is informed by queer, feminist, and anti-racist pedagogies which prioritize student-centered creation and transformation. My main areas of teaching are:
-
Premodern Literary History
-
Literary History of Gender, Sexuality, Embodiment
-
Queer and Feminist Science Studies
-
Transgender Studies/Literature/Activism
-
Queer Theory/Literature/Activism
-
Disability Studies/Literature/Activism
-
Pre- and Post-Modern Technologies of the Body
-
History of capitalism and labor
-
History of the English Language
-
British Literature
At the University of Connecticut, I teach a variety of courses within the English Department, First-Year Writing Program, and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program, including first-year writing seminars, upper-level literature courses, Intro to Queer Studies, Gender and Globalization, Gender and Sexuality in Everyday Life, and STEM-based composition courses in FYW. The FYW program offers instructors creative flexibility in the design of a composition course and my course inquiries vary semester to semester. Below you may access a selection of my syllabi. Note: I am working on uploading all of my syllabi, so some courses may not yet be available.
I practice feminist citation and work. That means that I value collaboration and group-thinking alongside singular, individual credential-based work. That said, to protect my intellectual labor, all documents and information is under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0) and any material adapted or remixed should give credit to Micah James Goodrich.
