Our major in Literatures and Cultures really embraces my research, which looks at non traditional literatures and even non textual forms of literature. I love being able to bring this approach into my classes, and I’ve enjoyed the research opportunities it has created with undergraduates. My work crosses a lot of disciplinary boundaries, and I feel that Merced is the perfect place to do that.
