Curriculum Vitae
I specialize in the literature of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, with a special
interest in non-dramatic poetry and in the interaction between literature and the visual arts. My
current research is on poetic descriptions of buildings and the relationship between literature and architecture across
the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance periods. In addition to experience teaching in the University of Chicago
writing program, my teaching interests span the Early Modern period,
including experience teaching Shakespeare, and a recent course on Renaissance poetry and the
visual arts, which includes attention to dramatic, epic and lyric poetry as well as a variety of visual art
forms. In addition to my research and teaching, I also act as co-coordinator for the University of Chicago
Renaissance Workshop and as co-organizer for the conference "Intellectual Exchange and Networks in Europe: 1500-1650: Approaches
from the Humanities and Social Sciences" to be held in Spring of 2010.
