About

We often tell our students, 'The future is in your hands.' But I think the future is actually in your mouth. You have to articulate the world you want to live in first. — Ocean Vuong

Honesty and openness is always the foundation of insightful dialogue. — Bell Hooks

All human knowledge takes the form of interpretation. — Walter Benjamin


I have been teaching at City College of San Francisco since 2008 in classes ranging from Middle East Studies to Ethnic Studies and Social Justice to Women's and Gender Studies, and in student programs such as Working Adults Degree Program and Metro Transfer Program.

Online Learning

If you are new to online learning you can take an online course readiness evaluation quiz to help confirm that online learning is right for you. Tune into this 3C Online Education short tutorial video to help debunk common myths about online learning. How well online classes work for you depends on many factors, including your computer system, computer skills and knowledge, reading skills, time management skills, motivation, study skills, self-discipline, and learning style.

Online classes utilize a learning management system called Canvas. You can login to the Canvas page by using your RAM ID. If you have trouble logging in to Canvas or need instructions for logging in contact the CCSF Online Course Support Center. Once you login to Canvas, you can access more help at the Canvas Help Menu in the left sidebar including 24-hour phone support. Student Services offers support for online learners and information on succeeding in an online class. For all technical related questions, please contact Canvas Support. The Canvas Support hotline (844) 592-2198 is available 24/7. Canvas technical support can also be reached by Live Chat. Last, you can refer to the Canvas Guides for more help.

It is your responsibility as the student to add or drop classes either online or in-person at designated registration offices. If you are dropping a class it is important that you be aware of the deadlines as students may be asked to pay for courses that are dropped after the deadline. See the Free City College Policy for more information. “No show” means that you never showed up / came to class or participated in any activity. Online students will be considered a “no show” and dropped from the class who have no communication with the instructor and do not complete Module 1 tasks within the first week of class by the indicated due dates.
