Since 2017, I have been involved with prison education projects. Prison classrooms are some of the most intellectually stimulating and rewarding environments I have experienced, especially those organized by the Prison+Neighborhood Arts/Education Project (PNAP) at Stateville Prison in Crest Hill, IL. Through PNAP, I have taught courses and reading groups, co-organized lectures, and facilitated a research project with PNAP alumni called "Embodying Resistance." This year, I'll be supporting a study hall at Logan Correctional Center, a women's prison. I started out volunteering with the Petey Greene Project as a tutor at MCI-Norfolk and -Framingham, where I began learning role of education within the prison industrial complex.

At Northwestern, I taught courses within the Science in Human Culture Program and History Department, including Podcasting the History of Science, History of Disability, and Histories of Medicine across Asia.

I incorporate media and material culture in my courses about the history of science. I also encourage students to learn skills relevant to public history and have arranged field trips to museum collections, where we debate the ethical dilemmas they pose in light of their colonial histories.

I have prepared lectures and workshops for groups outside of classroom settings, from medical student colloquia to adult education for Muslims to informal community gatherings. I am eager to continue facilitating in community settings.

Some talks have included a lecture called "The Troubled History of Alternative Medicine" for the Science History Institute in Philadelphia, as well as a virtual talk with Claire Sabel through Science in the News titled "Whose History? Whose Science?" available on YouTube. The flyers for this talk, including this image on the left, were designed by Corena Loeb.
