I have been teaching Spanish courses at Illinois Wesleyan University since 1994 after receiving my Ph.D. from Penn State. In addition to courses in Spanish language, literature, and culture, I have taught Literature in Translation, directed off-campus studies in London and Madrid, and taught both in the Humanities sequence and in the first-year writing "Gateway" program. In the Spring 2012, I will direct the Barcelona program and teach the course, "Barcelona through its Fiction." One of my most memorable teaching experiences was the Don Quijote course in Madrid during the 400th anniversary of the first publication of the novel. 14 students and I lived and breathed the novel as we learned about sixteenth and seventeenth-century Spain and the amazing effect Cervantes still has on Spanish culture today. "Make a career of
humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for
human rights. You will make a greater person of
yourself, a greater nation of your country and a finer
world to live in."
Martin Luther King,
Washington D.C. 1959 (now inscribed as part of his
national monument)
