Since 2010 I've been fortunate to teach all over the world, including the University of London, the Williams College-Mystic Seaport Ocean and Coastal Studies Program, aboard SSV Corwith Cramer in the Caribbean and the North Atlantic, with Inspiring Girls Expeditions, and, more informally, leading reading groups here in Seattle to bring ocean literature to nonacademic readers.

Sample Syllabi:

Global Ocean Literature (2023)

One Ocean, Many Voices: Literature of the Sea (2020)

Environmental Literature: Frankenstein at 200 (2018)

Victorian (By) Nature (2017)

Winter 2025 I am also teaching a Salish Sea Marine Biology course at Highline College's Marine Science and Technology (MaST) Center, which will of course have some poetry, as Rachel Carson wrote:

​

“If there is poetry in my book [KB: course!] about the sea, it is not because I deliberately put it there, but because no one could write [teach!] truthfully about the sea and leave out the poetry.”
