关于克里斯托弗

Whether teaching a First-Year composition class, a creative writing workshop, or an upper-level literature seminar, I want students to understand their work as the forging of connections between their own immediate contexts and the many different cultures, geographies, and temporalities to which texts can give access. 我专注于鼓励 students to think of their scholarly work as an opportunity to make the foreign familiar and to see beyond the confines of their own historical and geographical positions. I hope that, no matter the subject of the specific course, students will come to view their English class as an entry point into a much larger intellectual debate with participants from around the world and throughout history.
