I have taught graduate and undergraduate courses at universities in Europe and the United States. Courses subjects include among others Atlantic History, Early American History, and Comparative Slavery. Some of my most recent courses include Historical Thought and Writing, Silences and Biases in the Archives, and the Spatial Turn
In my courses, I incorporate projects such as the unessay and poster presentations, and, when possible, visits to local archives, museums, or historical sites (either as a class or students individually) to encourage exploration of the history that surrounds us.
In 2019, I received UNO’s Faculty Excellence in Teaching and Teaching Innovation Award for teaching innovation and effectiveness.
