Jeramy’s Teaching

Intensive college reading and writing based on the study of primarily nonfiction materials. Students write a minimum of 8,000 words; writing emphasizes expository forms.

My English 100 courses focus on an academic writing technique called “critical storytelling,” which is a critical framework for identifying, critiquing, and dismantling oppressive majoritarian narratives through the art of counterstorytelling. This course includes an examination of critical theory, critical race theory, and critical storytelling, and students can expect to advance their critical reading and writing techniques.
