Profile Although I specialized in Victorian literature with a dissertation and publications on Elizabeth Gaskell's short fiction, I now teach academic writing almost exclusively. My new interests lie in composition pedagogy and the academic benefits of linked courses to incoming freshmen. A related interest is popular culture with an emphasis on contemporary film, an enthusiasm that I share during classroom discussion and employ to illuminate universal themes. |
