I am a Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin in Marshfield and currently the campus Associate Dean.  I teach a variety of courses, including Intro. to Women's Studies,  Violence Inc.: America and the Film Industry and American Indian Film and Literature.  In addition to two edited collections, Creating Safe Space: Violence and Women's Writing and This Giving Birth: Pregnancy and Childbirth in Women's Writing, I have published a variety of articles on literature by women of color, on horror films and on American Indian studies.  On a recent Fulbright visit to Singapore, I studied Southeast Asian women and their writing.  
 
When I'm not working, I like to bike, read, and horse around with my two kids and 150-lb. Newfoundland, Fiona.
I give my spare time to projects addressing violence against women and children.
