Though my research specialties are medieval poetry and monastic culture, I teach as a generalist and take great delight in doing so. From Cicero to James Joyce, from The Dream of the Rood to David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive, from first-year composition to History of the English Language, I am thoroughly committed to opening up texts, language, visual art, and films with my students from a variety of hermeneutic perspectives. Below is a list of courses I have taught and am slated to teach in the upcoming academic year.
