I am an Assistant Professor at a local University in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. I designed, implemented, facilitated an integrative, interdisciplinary Arts and Humanities Core Curriculum course for the University. the course format is in both the traditional classroom and online environment. I designed and developed highly interactive, academically rigorous instructional materials for the exemplars of visual art, dance, theater, architecture, film, music, and literature. The instructional materials encourage students to develop critical thinking and metacognition skills by examining how the arts interrelate to all disciplines, influence, and reflect our culture, society, and basic human condition.
