My undergraduate degree is in Philosophy and my Ph.D. is in English. My interests lie in quality undergraduate education in the classics (Lao-Tzu and Wang Wei as well as Homer and Dante), postromantic English and American Literatures, and science fiction. I've been a Fulbright lecturer in Africa, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellow, and I've recently taught in New Zealand. My current writing projects include a novel and more science fiction stories.
