Teaching is the at the center of my thinking and my work. I have taught art and art history to students of all ages across a wide variety of settings (public and private schools; nursing homes; homeless shelters; online), and I understand the classroom – wherever that may be – as a necessarily transformative and liberatory space.

Most recently, I have served as a Teaching Fellow at Harvard University. Past courses range across early modern and contemporary art, including Material & Metaphor in Renaissance Italy, Art and Eroticism in the Southern European Renaissance, Between the Eye and Brush: Episodes in European Painting (1512–1912), Scenes from the Avant-Garde: Painting in 19th-Century France, Figurations: Theorizing the Body as Image in Contemporary Art; as well as three short-courses at Harvard – The Body as Fragment: Excursions in Histories of European Art, 1650–1950; The Body Beyond Itself: A Visual History of the Cyborg; and Van Gogh: Under the Surface – co-taught with Alexandra Dennett (Metropolitan Museum of Art, Harvard PhD Candidate). I have also taught History of the Book at MIT (with Stephanie Frampton, Professor of Classics). Whenever possible, I employ art as a primary source – a form of socratic pedagogy which stems, in part, from four years at the Yale University Art Gallery. 

In Italy, I have delivered lectures at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa and at the Bibliotheca Hertziana – Max Planck Institute for the History of Art.
