My dissertation examines 19th and early 20th century German-Jewish philosophy and literature. As a teaching assistant, I graded student papers and online discussion postings; facilitated discussion in both in-person and online recitation sections; provided written and oral feedback on student work; and used Canvas, Zoom, and Calendly. I also had the opportunity to guest lecture for the class. My dissertation examines 19th and early 20th century German-Jewish philosophy and literature.
