Teaching

"Jenny did not just stand up and lecture. She taught the material in a very interesting way and was great at engaging class participation through different types of activities. Also through her writing workshops she set you up to do very well on the writing assignments, which were on interesting topics."

/

"[Jenny is] very knowledgeable. I can tell she is passionate about the material and that makes it more fun to learn and she is very clear. She explains things in simple terms. She is a great professor and should continue on in this path. She made anthro for me a relevant topic."

/

"[Jenny] was very good at teaching concepts in a way that was applicable to students' own lives. I found myself thinking about what we had learned in class many times outside of the classroom and applying it to my daily life."

/

"I love how Jenny included everyone within the discussion and how she displayed her personality instead of bluntly lecturing about the course. I love Jenny and I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking to take anthropology if she is an option."

I teach courses related to Latino immigration and culture and diversity in the U.S. From 2017 to 2020 during my Postdoctoral Fellowship I taught for Southern Methodist University's Department of Anthropology. Previously, I was an instructor for the Department of Anthropology and El Instituto: Institute of Latina/o, Latin American, and Caribbean Studies at the University of Connecticut. I have experience teaching interdisciplinary and writing intensive courses.
