Graduate Associate

B.A. in English, Mercyhurst College

A first-year in the English M.A. program, John is originally from Pittsburgh, PA and earned his B.A. in English from Mercyhurst College in Erie. He loves Western Pennsylvania dearly, but is delighted to be living in vibrant, fast-paced DC.

In between reading as much about Renaissance epic, drama, and print culture as he can, John has an abiding interest in all things related to New Media, which is what led him to CNDLS. Through the course of his time here, he hopes to gain greater insight into all the ways emergent technology can affect literature, teaching strategies, and communication.
