Campus Service and Presentations
Department Chair of English and Reading. Most of my conference papers involve merging texts across genres and traditions, such as contemporary film with world mythology, and I take this approach in the classroom as well.
I want students to feel the challenge of the educational experience, and through this to become as independent, fearless, and inquisitive as possible.
