Now that you’ve been here for a while (some of you longer
than others!!), it’s time to get to know more about one of this department’s
faculty members. You may interview a
tenured/tenure-track faculty member or one of our NTT faculty (a list is
below).
You’ll want to ask them questions about:
Their career trajectory this
far—what path led them here?
Their choice of field—how did they
decide to become a/an Medievalist, Early Modernist, Americanist?
What are the classes they most
enjoy teaching? Why?
What kind of scholarship are they
currently working on?
What do they
see as the most important thing you can get out of your MA studies?
Where do they
see their field/the profession going in the next five or ten years?
You may have other questions as well. You are aiming here to
produce a 1-2 page (single spaced) reflective essay on the interview, in which
you share what you learn. The format for the essay is up to you.
Due by email Tuesday, Oct 18. Please bring a paper copy to
class on the 20h.
