I teach Middle English and Renaissance writing in the School of English's lecture and seminar courses at undergraduate level, and in its MA programme in Medieval and Renaissance English, for which I am coordinator.
EN 3095 Romance: Medieval to Renaissance (with Dr. A. King)
I hold the Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning from UCC (2011).
As a teacher, as well as researcher, my aims are to introduce students to knowledge of the production, reception, and contexts for medieval and renaissance writing in English. My method of inquiry is interdisciplinary; both in terms of contextualising English literary achievement in the Middle Ages relative to its vernacular peers, and assessing the place of literature in the cultural networks – musical, artistic, religious – of the Middle Ages and thereafter. My goal is to allow students to recreate for themselves the cultural contexts and pleasures of these unfamiliar and exciting texts.
