I'm an Associate Professor of English at Georgia Southern University. My field here is postcolonial literature and Irish Studies, specifically Irish literature. My graduate work was in 20th-century poetry, but we all move on and enlarge our scope when we hit the classroom. I work closely with Georgia Southern's Center for Irish Studies, and am a member of the Board of Directors for the South Asian Studies Association. I also edit a journal, Exemplar: The Journal of South Asian Studies.
I'm a graduate from UNC Chapel Hill with a doctorate in English Literature. One of the most important things UNC taught me was to prepare for a job in another field, hence my work in HR, computers, and tech writing. I have toiled at these electronic fringes of academia, where I fell into designing web sites and doing service like assessment.
