About

In 2018 I retired after 32 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I edited the Journal of English and Germanic Philology for 22 years. I was Associate Head of the English Department from 1995 to 1997, and Director of the Program in Medieval Studies from 2011 to 2015, overseeing its reconfiguration as a Global Medieval program. In 2014 I was awarded the Medieval Academy of America CARA Excellence in Teaching Award and the UIUC Graduate Mentoring Award.
