Intro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am originally from Canada but earned my Ph.D. from the University of California, Irvine, on the topic of ethics and literature in relation to several 20th century American authors. I have published articles on issues of memory, trauma, gender, and ethics in literature, and remain fascinated by the issues of representation surrounding memory, time, and history. I greatly enjoy teaching and have taught courses in upper and lower division writing, introductory literature, American literature, race and ethnicity, and African American literature, as well as travel literature. I am very interested in scholarly theories of subject well being (or happiness), and issues surrounding technology, media, and well being, and how those intersect with social justice issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I greatly enjoy teaching and have taught courses in upper and lower division writing, introductory literature, American literature, race and ethnicity, and African American literature, as well as travel literature. I am very interested in scholarly theories of subject well being (or happiness), and issues surrounding technology, media, and well being, and how those intersect with social justice issues. My writing classes often focus on such issues, including intersections of race, class, and gender in American society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
