About Anthony

My teaching experience is rich and varied. It encompasses introductory writing courses at public institutions such as UCLA, CUNY, and USMA, in addition to advanced critical writing and literature seminars at private universities and smaller liberal arts institutions like NYU, Colby College, and The New School. I have also taught introductory and advanced writing seminars to inmates through NYU’s Prisoner Education Program, at Wallkill, where I developed my writing intensive course on utopian and dystopian literature. I believe that the skills and crafts of writing and reading are inextricably wed. Students must develop a wide variety of critical reading skills through an active engagement with different modes of discourse in order to write across the curriculum and in the various argumentative argots required by the several disciplines they will encounter in the course of their college careers and beyond. In other words, I introduce my students to academic writing by immersing them in various discourses and their argumentative protocols – from literary analysis, with its close reading and explication, to the evidence-based argumentation we find in both the social and hard sciences.

I begin my writing courses with the argumentative summary, provided with a focus on rhetorical moves by Gerald Graff’s and Cathy Birkenstein’s They Say/I Say. In group presentations, blog posts, in-class writing assignments, and formal essays, I ask my students to summarize complex arguments, to separate the primary argumentative claims from contextual details and supporting evidence, so that they can respond to those arguments and make their own claims in doing so. I inculcate these skills through a broad range of student-centered activities, such as the aforementioned presentations and blog postings in tandem with old and new media-style assignments; these assignments ask my students to write, read, and respond on blogs, social media platforms like Twitter, and in-class presentations, in which students, asked to research a particular topic, teach the class what they have learned. These strategies have served me well over the last year of remote online teaching.

About the class

I organize my lessons around broad topical themes. I am, for example, currently teaching a critical writing seminar entitled, “Frankenstein, Technology, and The Limits of the Human.” We spend our first five weeks reading Mary Shelley’s novel in tandem with various scholarly arguments – literary critical, philosophical, and historical – addressing the Frankenstein myth. My students respond to these arguments and their relationship to the novel in a variety of forms and media, ranging from blog posts to formal written assignments; this work forms the basis for the several drafts of their first argument summary and response assignment. We are now looking at contemporary debates related to the Frankenstein motif – on eugenics, trans-humanism, the impact of Internet technologies, and the ecological limits to growth, upon which my students present, individually and in groups, every week. They will draw on these presentations (and the writing associated with them) in devising their final synthesis assignment, when they will use four source arguments in order to outline the contours of a debate before intervening in that debate. I first developed this pedagogical approach during my three years as a Visiting Professor in the writing intensive English Department at the United States Military Academy at West Point.
