My principal teaching experience has been at Loyola University Maryland and at the Johns Hopkins University. At Loyola, I was instructor of record in the Department of Theology for four courses: two upper-division seminars, one intermediate course, and an introductory course. At Johns Hopkins, I was a teaching assistant in the Department of History for two different courses.

TH326: Ignatius of Loyola and the Spiritual Exercises

This seminar offers an advanced exploration of St. Ignatius of Loyola and his most famous text,  the Spiritual Exercises, as well as its place in the life of the Society of Jesus and its works. In addition to discussing the genesis and history of the Exercises, it also invites students to consider some ways that the Ignatian vision has been “incarnated” in history, beginning with Ignatius and continuing to the present day.

TH331: Christian Spirituality: History and Practice

This seminar introduced students to a selection of spiritual practices and approaches to prayer in the Christian tradition, and to the theological reflection in which they are grounded. An important objective of the class was to gain knowledge about Christian spiritual traditions, and this was accomplished through the study of selected sources and class conversation. A second objective, equally important, was to engage those traditions at the level of personal practice and reflection. 

TH216: Ignatius and the Jesuits: History and Spirituality

An intermediate introduction to the Society of Jesus, especially its history and spirituality. From the religious conversion of Saint Ignatius Loyola in early modern Spain to the state of the Jesuit order in contemporary America, this course endeavors to clarify and interpret the intellectual, spiritual, and pedagogical vision of Ignatius and his followers. The survey includes an introduction to the Spiritual Exercises; a study of the evolution of the Society’s structure and mission from the first Jesuits to today.

TH201: Introduction to Theology

Presuming no background in Christianity, this course presented a basic introduction to its sources, some of its most important themes, and questions of contemporary importance.

AS 100.102: The Medieval World (Prof. Gabrielle Spiegel)

This lecture course introduced selected topics – religious, social, economic, intellectual – the history of Western Europe between the fall of the Roman Empire and the thirteenth century. The weekly discussion section, which I led as one of the course TAs, offered an opportunity to explore the week's lectures and readings in greater depth.

AS 100.270: Europe Since 1945 (Prof. Veronica Harms)

An intermediate-level lecture course on European history since 1945, the class focused on topics ranging from the Cold War divide, the transatlantic alliance, détente, migration, European integration and the EU.
