Teacher/Lecturer

Jake teaches courses at colleges and universities which he feels are vital in expanding students’ global consciousness and communication skills while also stimulating them to interact more holistically with their environment. These subjects include Environmental Writing, the Poetics of Place, Travel Writing, Ethical Journalism, Multicultural Literature, and the Contemplative and Mystical Dimensions of World Religions.

In addition to those more formal educational settings, he also offers many scholarly lectures and creative workshops throughout the year at community colleges, alternative media centers, senior residences, and public libraries. Jake has also worked for several educational organizations that serve at-risk urban youth. These diverse engagements allow him to connect with various populations and generations.

Contact Jake if you would like him to lead a class, lecture, or workshop at your educational or community center.
