I have 25 years of experience in the field of English and American language and literature, with specific knowledge in the areas of Renaissance, British, global and American multicultural, and comparative literature. I have published on such topics as women’s literature, Renaissance literature, Shakespeare, Latino literature, the teaching of writing and social justice literature. I’ve edited a textbook on multicultural literature used in more than 100 colleges and universities. I am comfortable writing and teaching about both canonical and non-canonical topics.
