Teaching

I generally teach a graduate course each year, either a seminar in my area of specialization, or the graduate level Chaucer course (ENG. 533). I also teach, at various times, the undergraduate Chaucer course (ENG. 416), a course called “Saints, Mystics and Martyrs” (Eng. 415), and other special topics courses in medieval literature and culture. Once a year I usually teach English 221, the survey course of English Literature 800-1800, and an introductory course in Canadian Literature, “Sex, Death and Snow” (Eng. 294).

I was director of the ACMRS Summer Study Abroad in Cambridge program for several years, and taught a course called “Religion and Rebellion in South-East England.”   I also taught for two years on the Study Abroad program in Florence, Italy, a course on “Saints and Sinners in Medieval and Renaissance Italy.”

Past syllabi for some of these courses can be seen on my website.
