Dr. Zachary T. King // social science, research, art, & design

I have designed and taught 8 courses independently as Instructor of Record in at the University of California, Santa Barbara and Metro State University in St. Paul.

I take my teaching very seriously, committing my time and energy to reflecting on my technique and developing pedagogy. I achieve very strong student engagement, participation, completion of course readings and assignments, and most importantly, students often tell me the course was transformative in their own personal and professional development. I receive ratings above the average for my department and letters from students sharing their gratitude – for which I am deeply honored.

I have taught independent courses in the following areas: Introductory Sociology, Sociology of Social Movements, Sociology of Globalization, and Sociology of Development and Global Theory.

In addition to the 6 independent courses, I have served as a Teaching Assistant for the Department of Sociology 13 times, across the following areas: Environment and Society, Waste, Consumption and the Environment, Earth in Crisis, Climate Justice, Development and Global Theory, Introductory Sociology, Radical Social Change, and Social Movements.
