Teaching & Employment

Bri has practical experience teaching in the anthropology department on campus and specializes in pedagogical planning.

She has taught six semesters of Anthropology 104, the introductory course to cultural anthropology offered by UW-Madison. This course routinely has over 900 enrolled students, as it satisfies an Ethnic Studies Requirement for undergraduates. Bri works with a team of nine to ten other TAs to communicate the learning objectives for the course as equitably as possible throughout the sections. She herself teaches 86 students in four sections during the week. 

In addition to practical teaching, Bri also has experience planning effective, active, and student-centered learning. During the Anthropology 104 REACH redesign to better streamline teaching and learning for the course, she worked as the graduate liaison between the supervising faculty and TAs and used pedagogical techniques to develop new lecture & discussion material, produce educational videos, revise the syllabus, implement hybrid learning plans, and write exam questions.

She is a member of the UW-Madison Teaching Academy—a division of the Center for Teaching, Learning & Mentoring—as a Future Faculty Partner (FFP), and served as a graduate FFP representative on the Academy's Executive Board from 2021-2022. She has also participated in numerous anthropology department Teaching Development workshops and has led meetings based on topics like "Teaching For & From an International Student's Perspective," "Planning & Keeping a Discussion Going," and "Writing a Syllabus."
