Teaching Philosophy I approach classroom learning as analogous to other kinds of learning in life, a process which undergoes continual change and refinement through interaction with students. My intellectual engagement with material-based research, understanding of web-based technologies, and appreciation for current literary production consistently informs my teaching. I frequently bring facsimiles of manuscript pages, or music, film, and images, into the classroom to give students a “feel” for early modern textual production, and to help illustrate the cultural environs from which the texts arise. Through developing a cultural narrative -- which includes an awareness of politics, economics, history, and social constructions -- students learn about literature by becoming immersed in a world inside and outside of the text. |
