1. What department do you teach in?
French and Italian; I teach French literature and culture.
2. Why did you decide to teach at the University?
I'm British and after getting my doctorate I wanted to work in the U.S. I had a few interviews and when I came for my on-campus visit to Lawrence, I made up my mind that this was a place I could be happy in. A charming town, good school and not far from a big
city. What more could one possibly want?
People-watch with friends with the help of an adulterated coffee, ice tea or Hendrick's gin, depending on the season, hour and my inclination.
3. What's your favorite thing to do outside of the classroom?
At 18, coming from a small town on the English-Scottish border, I decided I needed to broaden my horizons, so I moved to Paris knowing virtually no French. Later on, I went to the University of Durham in northern England founded in the 17th century. Part of it was used in the filming of Harry Potter, and unbelievably a medieval castle is used as a student dorm.
5. What's your favorite thing about Lawrence?
4. Where did you attend college?
6. What's something your students don't know about you?
Downtown and its energy and relative diversity.
I'm really an optimist in a cynic's body.
7. If you had any other career,
what would it be and why?
Well, funnily enough, I trained to be a priest for 3 years and decided to leave the seminary. I have kept in touch with friends from my year who are now ordained. It's more of a romantic notion, because the idea of sacrifice positively makes me recoil these days.
Poetry classes with Dr. Hillery.
He was spellbinding; you would go out of his lecture wanting to go straight to the anthology and read.
I had a poetry seminar with him during my senior year. Someone always brought in wine and we would discuss Baudelaire and Rimbaud while enjoying a glass of red.
Paris, I'm lucky in that I spend 3 months a year there, but this is a long-distance affair that has never diminished over the years.
9. What was the best class you took in college?
10. If you could live anywhere else where would you live?
8. What's your favorite food?
Nothing beats a good cheese,
such as Bleu d'Auvergne, washed
down with champagne.
