Teaching
Below are links to the websites I've used for teaching over the last 25 (!!!) years. The farther down you go, the more decrepit the sites become. Many of these sites originally ran in a dynamic CMS (Drupal for a few years, and then a lot of WordPress and a little MediaWiki) but have been flattened out into static html. I can make no promises that any of this will work as expected.

(And before that, a big passage of time, while I was on leave (2010-11) and then working at the MLA (2011-17). What’s below is an archive of my teaching sites from Pomona College that has bumped around the internet a bit, starting at machines.pomona.edu. It migrated to machines.plannedobsolescence.net in early July 2013, to machines.kfitz.info in May 2018, and then to its present resting place in November 2023. Add to that the process of extracting things from Drupal and MediaWiki and WordPress and... if you find broken links or missing materials, drop me a line, but I can’t promise that I'll be able to fix what’s gone wrong.)
