Chris Smith> - What education-related projects are you involved in, or have you been involved in previously?

I have taught elective courses in functional programming using Haskell, Scala, or Elixir to advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students in a US public university. My students typically have programming experience in an imperative language such as Java, with no exposure to functional programming previously.

Recently I have taught a junior/senior-level required core course in Programming Languages primarily using Haskell.

Chris Smith> - Is there anything specific that you are definitely looking for from this space?

Although there have come to be quite a few books on functional programming that use one language or another, there are not many real textbooks suitable for use in a college class. In particular, there is a scarcity of textbook options for courses other than just programming---such as algorithms and data structures, software engineering, programming language organization, artificial intelligence, data science, etc.
