General information:
I am a lecturer at the Department of English and American studies. I have taught undergraduate courses on Shakespeare, Sidney, Spenser, as well as a survey of Renaissance literature and a diachronic survey of the pastoral mode from Theocritus to Thoreau. Currently I focus mostly on teaching academic writing at both basic and advanced levels and find it intensely rewarding.
Biography:
I have a B.A and M.A, summa cum laude, from Tel Aviv University, and an ABD from the University of Chicago, all of these sometime at the end of the 20th century. I have had my share of awards, such as the Nadav Vardi prize for a B.A. essay and, later, for an M.A essay. However, what gratifies me most is the many Vardi prizes and Handelman prizes awarded for essays that my students wrote under my guidance.
Research interests:
My fields of interest are the English language and composition; rhetoric - classical, Renaissance and modern; the pastoral; Renaissance literature, especially Sidney, Spenser, Shakespeare and lyric poetry.
