Research

research overview

  • My field of expertise is American, French, and German literatures. My main focus is 19th century and early 20th century American novel. I am researching transatlantic American women writers who have chosen France as their home: 'Edith Wharton in Europe' is an ongoing project. I recently added Elizabeth Barrett Browning as an English writer in Italy. ---Further, the visual arts and architecture play a large role in my research, esp. Renaissance (Florentine) architecture. My research relates to engineering education and informs mainly my pedagogy.

Students focus on sharpening their written and oral communication skills through a series of iterative assignments and projects. Fulfills College of Engineering writing requirement for first-year students only.
  • ENES 2360 - Gaining a Global State of Mind for Effective Engineering Practice
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2023 / Spring 2024
    Ranges across cultures and centuries to reveal many dimensions of globalization; shows how cultural awareness enhances effectiveness in the increasingly global profession of engineering. This highly interactive course uses history, philosophy, geography, religion, economics, the arts, etc., to illustrate the complexity of global engineering�s cultural context. Concurrently, it encourages new insights into culture and identity, both at home and abroad. Recommended restriction: restricted to students in the College of Engineering and Applied Science. Formerly HUEN 2360. Degree credit not granted for this course and ENES 3360.
