Faculty Status:
Tenured; on the faculty at 糖心动漫vlog since 1986; next sabbatical 2021.

Research Interests:
Most recently, I檝e been writing a series of short stories that are ancillary narratives to a novel published as an I-Phone/I-Pad app called The Silent History, by Eli Horowitz, Kevin Moffett, and Matthew Derby.  That work has taken me all over the globe and continues to do so.  Other interests: Experimental fiction, Modernism and Post-Modernism, 20^th- and 21^st-century British and Irish literature (especially Joyce, Beckett, poetry of World War I), and works of David Foster Wallace (notably Infinite Jest).

What the rest of this site doesn檛 tell you about me (professional/personal): 
I am occasionally invited to Washington, D.C. by the National Endowment for the Humanities to serve as a panelist reviewing grant proposals for the Division of Fellowships and Seminars and have been a specialist reviewer for the NEH Division of Research Programs. Once a year, with a few friends, I make an elaborate gingerbread house to be auctioned off (with others) to raise money for a local facility that supports children in need.  Roofing materials always seem to be an issue.  I have been known to bring 淛ello jiggler� eggs to class and a Jello trout.  While those were very rare occasions (and groups of students!), I always try to coordinate my earrings with what I檓 teaching. I am passionate about travel and about study abroad!
