New Teaching Role at Harvard University

This fall, I will begin work at Harvard University as a Preceptor of Expository Writing. I will teach two sections of a freshman writing course (Expos 20) of my own design that explores the legacy and politics of autobiographical art-making in the African diaspora. I am extraordinarily grateful for this opportunity and look forward to joining the Harvard community. For more information, see the Harvard College Writing Program website.
