Courses

Reed College's rigorous undergraduate program, modeled on a graduate school format, allows me to ground my teaching in ongoing research. Since I began at Reed in 2000, my advanced seminars and collaborative work with students have both grown out of and pushed further my ethnographic and historical studies in the Sino-Tibetan frontier zone. I use my online syllabi as multimedia compendia of materials my students and I have drawn on. Syllabi are organized thematically and topically by week, with related materials (further readings, films/media, links) in tabs under each week.
