| 2021 | Video. Videographer & Presenter, this is a video I prepared for a panel discussion titled “Muhlenberg Pockets of Hope” during the Fall Celebration of Teaching and Learning on August 25, 2021. The following text is from the panel description: “Conditions in the last year and a half have challenged faculty to devise new practices in digital space to enact pedagogies and principles in teaching and learning that they hold dear. While much was lost, one thing we observed was an enduring commitment to building critical, creative, and humane learning experiences for and with our students. In this panel, faculty give voice to the ways they enlisted digital tools and techniques within the constraints of the pandemic to achieve their pedagogical goals. We think of this work as stitching together pockets of hope across an often dehumanizing distance learning landscape and as resistance to corporate ed-tech business as usual. We highlight examples that call to mind these words from critical race and technology scholar Ruha Benjamin: ‘Remember to imagine and craft the worlds you cannot live without, just as you dismantle the ones you cannot live within.'” Run time: 07:54. <https://youtu.be/D9BV0AXS93s> |

| 2020 | Video. Videographer, “La Tierra Mia”: Reflections on the 50th Anniversary of Chicano Park. During the Spring quarter of 2020 I taught a special topics course for UCSD Latin American Studies. The course focused on the 50th anniversary of San Diego’s Chicano Park. The class was going to be convened in the Park, at the base of the new mural dedicated to the memory of Anastasio Hernández Rojas. Our class meetings would culminate with the actual 50th Anniversary Commemoration, scheduled for April 25, 2020. The course was organized with the approval and active support of the Chicano Park Steering Committee (CPSC), as well as the muralists Victor Ochoa and Mario Chacon. As a consequence of the pandemic, these plans were abruptly changed, and the course was delivered online. I lieu of in-person discussions that would focus on the significance of this special place, I organized a series of panel discussions featuring key figures in the history and defense of the Park. This is a series of short videos I developed from these discussions and other course-related activities. <https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHQcRigcqcKwLGiH8a_IYZTfQizneUlXd> |
