Biografie
At Fribourg I teach courses in English, academic writing, and pedagogy. My research is centered on issues of language, description, style, and technique in modernist and avant-garde literature in English, German, and French. I hold a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature & Literary Theory from the University of Pennsylvania and spent five years teaching English in French universities before coming to Fribourg. I previously served as English Editor for the Chinese academic journal International Comparative Literature (Shanghai Normal University) and Assistant Editor for Dalkey Archive Press.
