Studying for M.A. Composition and Literature
Email: xygs@iup.edu
I wish I could say that I currently know the direction my journey is taking me. No matter what, I cannot envision myself anywhere but in a college classroom, but I am currently working on determining what specialization(s) I want to pursue. I have a wide variety of interests that include, but are not limited to: Shakespeare, the Literary Canon (and exploring how the Literary Canon is determined), American Literature, Young Adult Literature, Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Magical Realism.
I currently am studying to attain my Master's degree in Composition/Literature, which is providing me with much of the exposure to the variety of literature and literary theories to help me focus my field down to a field that I will feel comfortable teaching for many years to come.
