TEACHING
I teach courses in the history of science within the Division of the History of Science, Technology, and Environment at KTH.
In Fall 2026 I will teach on Oceanic Extractivism within the Winter Doctoral School in Planetary Histories at KTH.
In Spring 2027 I am course responsible for the KTH first cycle course, AK1202: History of Science and Technology. A syllabus for this course is forthcoming.

Before I arrived in Sweden, I twice taught for courses in the General Education program at Harvard. These were “Gender and Science,” and “Life and Death in the Anthropocene.” For both courses I was the recipient of a Certificate of Distinction in Teaching from the Office of Undergraduate Education. I have also advised senior honors theses in the History of Science Department at Harvard.
Following teaching for “Life and Death in the Anthropocene,” I translated its undergraduate syllabus into one for a graduate reading and research course in the History of Science Department, called “Theorizing the Anthropocene.” That syllabus can be found here.

Eventually I’ll teach Ocean History. See an example syllabus here: Oceans of History.
“This course asks these central questions: what is the ocean’s history? What does it mean to say that, not only does the ocean have a place in human history, but that the ocean also makes and holds history? How has historicizing the ocean differed across regions? Has it been a site of resistance to dominant narratives? Are there alternative oceanic histories?”
