My approach to pedagogy blends the various ways readers can experience literature: rooted in the personal and reflective, branching out into domains of history, culture, politics and philosophy. As an instructor, I position myself not as some expert who doles out interpretations, but rather as an adviser who prepares scholars to discover, comprehend, analyze, critique and appreciate a work of literature.
