Teaching Tools:
A SQuIDS (Select a Quotation, Identify, and Discuss the Significance) is a writing exercise designed to develop textual analysis skills that I use often in my classes. I do not know the origin of the exercise, but I learned it from the inimitable Walker Zeiser at The Millbrook School.
Kristina Gupta and I developed this exercise as part of our course Feminism, Sexuality and Neuroethics. The project is designed to give students experience presenting scientific data to a non-specialist public and reporting on scientific data as journalists or other members of the media.
Courses I have designed and taught:
