Teaching

I taught for more than two decades very broadly and continue to do regular consulting for educators and universities, please contact me at dsmargolies -at- protonmail.com for more details.

My classes covered a variety of topics in the global history of the United States and its empire alongside specialized classes about sound, noise, and music. I also offered several courses in Asian history and on the history and practice of Buddhism in the United States.

Here is a list of the courses I taught at Virginia Wesleyan University in my last couple of years there (I had a heavy teaching load of 4-5 classes a semester, so I got to cover a lot of topics!)
