I have devised and taught undergraduate and foundation level courses at institutions including Emily Carr University of Art and Design, Vancouver Island University, University of Victoria, University of Alberta, the Royal College of Art, and University of the Creative Arts in subjects including contemporary art writing, curating, theory, 20th century art history, Modernism, Postmodernism, and social practice. A sample of recent course offerings are below.
An upper-level seminar course exploring curating as an activist, critical practice. Enrolment: 18 (online). Semesters: Fall 2020 -Winter 2021.
Visiting professorship to contemporary art theory undergraduate students as part of the international programme of Helsinki’s largest art school. Enrolment: 26. Semester: Winter 2024.
A workshop course in which we’ll read work by contemporary artists and writers engaging with experimental writing in and around contemporary art practice, and in which students will develop writing in response to prompts and workshop their writing each week. Material will be informed by intersectional feminist theory, queer theory, and theories of decolonisation and how we put those theories in practice in writing. Visual arts majors who have previously found writing in academic contexts challenging are welcome. Enrolment: 20. Semester: Fall 2022.
We covered more theory in this one course than all 4 years of my art history courses combined…Through our in class discussions Kim allowed us to explore our ideas while still pushing us to formulate well rounded/well thought out critiques and ideas.
Kim makes art history feel relevant to contemporary art today.
She provides clear explanations of concepts and is always willing to listen to students' comments and questions.
She was a fantastic instructor who is obviously passionate about the material… She explained concepts well, and encouraged discussion among students.
I found myself excited to attend her class.
[The course] was very inspiring and really brought my hope back for academia. It was the first time for me to be reading Indigenous literature in our school and it felt so important and made me feel seen… I really loved your pedagogy and way of facilitating the lessons.
