Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n

I received a BA in English from Yale College, an MA in Humanities and Social Thought from NYU, and Ph.D. in English from the University of Washington, where I studied literature and feminist theory. For the last decade, I have taught literature, composition, and humanities to high school and college students, and I am writing a novel and a book on literature of motherhood after 1970. I have published articles in\u00a0Feminist Theory\u00a0and\u00a0Arizona Quarterly\u00a0and poems in\u00a0Oversound.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Teaching Philosophy<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have two primary goals in teaching humanities: to encourage students to look more closely at cultural works, and to impress upon them that they, too, are part of cultural history. I believe that engaging with texts of all kinds changes our vision of the world. We come to see the world more clearly as we look closely at cultural works: \u201creading\u201d them, thinking about their context, and considering what peers and scholars think about them. Furthermore, we come to see ourselves as embedded in a particular culture, at a particular moment in history. What do we value and what do we ignore? How does this resonate on the level of cultural works?<\/p>\n
