Before joining UBC, I taught at Dalhousie, Saint Mary&#8217;s University, Mount Saint Vincent University, and Okanagan University College. \u00a0I am \u00a0currently an Associate Professor of Teachiing in the English Department and chair of UBC&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/macl.arts.ubc.ca\/\">Master of Arts in Children&#8217;s Literature<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Like most academics in UBC&#8217;s educational leadership stream, my working life is divided between teaching, research, educational leadership, and service. I did my graduate work on the eighteenth-century novel and later researched literary representations of disease in the eighteenth century before turning my attention to writing for the young.\u00a0 This year, I&#8217;m teaching courses on children&#8217;s and young adult Literature\u00a0 (ENGL 392) and first-year writing and literature (ENGL 100 and ENGL 110), eighteenth-century literature (ENGL 353), and comics and graphic media (ENGL 245). My research focuses on children&#8217;s and young adult fiction, and I&#8217;m especially interested in how contemporary writing for the young represents posthuman challenges to liberal humanist models of the self. My recent educational leadership has involved developing genre-theoretical approaches to writing instruction and supporting graduate-level instruction in children&#8217;s and young adult literature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I grew up in Edmonton and studied at the University of Alberta (BA, MA), Universit\u00e9 de Dijon (Dipl\u00f4me Sup\u00e9rieur d&#8217;\u00c9tudes Fran\u00e7aises), Dalhousie (PhD), and UBC (International Program for the Scholarship of Educational Leadership: UBC Certificate on Pedagogy and Curriculum in Higher Education).
