While I presently focus on early modern literature and puritanism, I also teach Shakespeare, critical theory in Comparative Literature, as well as courses in Women's Studies and Jewish Studies. I have a particular interest in advanced technology in teaching and research in the humanities.
Courses
Poetry and Prose of John Milton (English 28), Shakespeare I (English 24), Critical Theory (Comparative Literature 72), The Merchant of Venice (Jewish Studies 40), advanced seminars in Milton, and Poetry and Prose of the Seventeenth Century (English 27).
