I've been teaching at the college level for more than thirty years, having previously held posts at Indiana State University, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Louisiana State University, and the University of Missouri, before joining the faculty at Arizona State University in 2013.
In 2016, I received the Zebulon Pearce Distinguished Teaching in the Humanities Award in College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at ASU. I regularly teach Jane Austen to undergrads and graduate students, in-person and online, and I co-edited the Romantic Circles Pedagogy Commons special issue on "Teaching Jane Austen" (2015).
This fall, I'm teaching a graduate seminar on the History of the Novel (ENG 635) and an online master's course on Students in Jane Austen (ENG 535). I'm also continuing to lead a small team of ASU undergraduate and graduate student researchers to produce a modern edition of a 1795/6 short story collection by Anna Maria Porter for The Juvenilia Press.

Can't take a class at ASU? Then you might want to check out my series of lectures for The Great Courses / Wondrium, The Life and Works of Jane Austen, a series of 24 30-minute lectures on Austen that's available on DVD, streaming video, and Audible.
