CLASS OPERATION?
In Fall 2009, my office hours are 11-12 daily, and I'm teaching:
English 211:
Newswriting & Reporting
English 480: Senior
Seminar in American Magical Realism
Current or prospective students can access basic information about
me and
other courses I teach at my E-vita. For other
departmental or university information, consult the Illinois Wesleyan University home page.
Early case of senioritis? Classes getting you down? Out of school, but thinking of returning? Try this booster. Thinking of taking a semester off-campus? I highly recommend that you consider IWU's London Program, Denmark's International Studies Program (nearly everyone in Copenhagen speaks English!).
A REMOVABLE
FEAST!
Feel free to download these quotes I've assembled:
THE ARGUS
One good indicator of campus life is the student newspaper. Since
1988, I've
been privileged
to serve as faculty advisor to The Argus, one of the oldest,
continuously published college newspapers in America.
WRITING PROJECTS
Historic
Photos of Ernest Hemingway was published in March 2009 by Turner
Publishing Co. (Nashville, Tenn.). Before that, I co-wrote Remembering
Ernest Hemingway with Frank Simons: Thirteen interviews with
family and friends of the Nobel laureate, published in May 1999 as a
centennial
tribute, with a foreword by granddaughter Lorian Hemingway. The IWU
Bookstore
has copies of both books for sale; those of
you
in cyberspace can order via amazon.com or directly from the publisher
if
you click on the links.
I'm also a DVD reviewer for DVD
Town: Where Movies Matter,
so if you're into
cinema check out that site. My reviews are also indexed at rottentomatoes.com
and available through the Online Film
Critics Society, of which I'm a member.
