I teach English at a small liberal arts university in North Carolina, where I'm also the coordinator of the Critical Thinking Program. My scholarly interests are in early modern British literature; my nonscholarly reading habits range far and wide, but veer towards creative nonfiction and history, especially history of cities. This blog is mostly about things that I read, but my interest in photography and food shows up here too.
