In my teaching, I am guided by three major objectives: 1) to implement the seven principles of Universal Instructional Design, an approach derived from disability studies, to foster accessibility, interactivity, and consistency in the classroom; 2) to balance object-centered and object-driven approaches, using the analysis of film and media texts as the basis from which to examine the social, cultural, and political contexts of moving images; and 3) to provide students with opportunities to merge film and media studies with other art forms, media practices, and disciplines.
