New Post At Blogging Woolf

I have a new post up at Blogging Woolf. Again, I am writing about Mrs. Dalloway; this time, I am focused on looking at how Woolf reveals Clarissa’s day chronologically. I use an Anna Benjamin article to break down the day.

I will be teaching Mrs. Dalloway this semester, so expect a lot more from me over at Blogging Woolf as the semester goes on.

New Posts At Prof Hacker + Blogging Woolf

Now that we are caught up on conference notes (which will begin again next week after ThatCamp Philly), I thought I would announce some recent blogging I have done in other places. I have a post up on Blogging Woolf about plagiarism accusations against Woolf after the publication of Mrs. Dalloway. I also have a new post over at Prof Hacker on stocking a teaching tool box before beginning your first job.

Hopefully, I will have more for both blogs soon.

Spring 2011 Odds & Ends

  • I had another post on Blogging Woolf about the role of propaganda and gender/class privilege during the intermodern period.
  • Sometime soon I will give a full report of my time at THATCAMP Jersey Shore, but for now I will link to Ruth Martin’s notes from my presentation on incorporating wikis into the classroom.
  • About a year and a half ago, I was asked to review the newest edition of Subject & Strategy, the anthology that, until recently, we used in Composition I. For the review copies they used a bit of a much larger quote of mine on the front cover. Some of my students even ended up with copies this past semester, which was a little weird.

  • A few weeks ago, I was offered, and accepted, another one year contract at Burlington County College. Here is a picture of my office door:

I have a picture of the inside from the week I moved in, but it has changed a lot since then, so I will have to take a new one soon.

Women’s History Month Lecture

I was asked to speak at Ocean County College during their women’s history month celebration. I spoke last week to about 30 people on the role of gender and class privilege in 1930s England, which was a period I was heavily invested in during graduate school. There are numerous references to Virginia Woolf, George Orwell, F.R. Leavis, Storm Jameson, and Mulk Raj Anand, amongst others.

I will have a podcast of my lecture up as soon as I figure out how to transfer it to mp3 from my phone.

New Post At Blogging Woolf

I have a new post up over at Blogging Woolf. This time, I am writing about intermodernism, a term coined by Dr. Kristin Bluemel for literature and arts in Britain during the years between the World Wars. If readers are interested, I have plenty more to say about intermodernism.

New Post At Blogging Woolf

In recent weeks, I have a new post up over at Blogging Woolf. This time I am writing about Mrs. Dalloway again, specifically the role of the epic hero in the novel compared to Arnold Bennett’s novel Anna of the Five Towns. This was revised from a paper I wrote in graduate school and a few dinner conversations with Toni Magyar back then.

I really enjoy writing for Blogging Woolf. I will be posting more over there soon about Intermodernism.
