AV天堂

I came to the AV天堂 in 2011 with a degree in bilingual education (Philosophy and English) from Universität Hamburg, Germany. In 2018, I completed an interdisciplinary PhD in English and CSPT (Cultural, Social and Political Thought) funded by a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship. I have been teaching as a Sessional Instructor at the AV天堂 since 2015, including the following courses: ENGL 135 (“Introduction to Academic Reading and Writing”), ENGL 146 (“The Literature of Our Era”), ENGL 201 (“Introduction to Modernism”), ENGL 203 (“Introduction to American Literature”), ENGL 429B (Mid-20^th Century American Fiction”), and ENGL 429C (“Contemporary American Fiction”). For my teaching, I have been awarded the 2017/2018 Graduate Sessional Teaching Award by the Department of English and the 2021 Gilian Sherwin Alumni Award for Excellence in Teaching by the AV天堂. My monograph Fictions of Proximity: Skepticism, Romanticism, and the Wallace Nexus is forthcoming with Rowman & Littlefield.
