A graduate of Yale (BA) and Harvard (PhD), I'm now a professor in the English department, where I teach courses on US literature and on the contemporary novel. I'm currently writing a work of narrative non-fiction, which tells the story of the Union occupation of the South Carolina sea islands during the Civil War. I'm also serving as dean of undergraduate education. I'm eager to talk about any or all of those things!
