She has taught in from Great Britain. What do you teach? Officially, 19th century Brit- ish literature. I teach courses that are more about theories of literature, theories of art and of language. ButtI also teach a Vic- torian novel class - a graduate course about Charles Darwin, George Eliot and scientific ideas. What is your favorite thing to teach? Theory. The course I'm teaching is called "Is Literature Art?" It starts with Plato and CRIME NOTES Aristotle and ends with cur- rent ideas about literature and whether it is spectacle in the world, whether it is producing truth, if it's singular or plural and whether it should serve any social, political, moral purpose or whether it just is a form that we admire and that moves us in such ways. It's a great class; it's fantastic. What is the best thing you have learned while working at the University? Every time you go into a classroom, at whatever level, you learn something from the students. Students here are wonderfully willing to give forth their opinions and toss up ideas, and so the discussions are always exciting and sometimes unpredictable, but also fun. It doesn't feel like work. That cer- tainly wasn't always the case teaching in Britain. There's a very big distinction and a dif- ferent level of formality and stance. There it's definitely more formal and it's a very dif- ferent structure for teaching. So, do you enjoy it more here than you do in Britain? I do.
