View CVJames J. Donahue is primarily interested in the study of narrative form, particularly with how authors construct their narratives to engage in social and political commentary. He introduces students to this work in his various classes, including his courses in Native American Literature, Young Adult Literature, and The Graphic Novel. In his scholarship, he works primarily at the intersection of narrative theory and identity studies, with a particular focus on race and representation. His other interests include historical fiction, experimental narratives, and The Beat Movement. More Info |

I have always been fascinated by American history and culture, and for me, the study of literature has been a way to understand the past as well as the present. My undergraduate and graduate degrees at Michigan State University focused primarily on literature and prepared me for my teaching career. My teaching at SUNY Potsdam has become the springboard to investigate politics, economics, music, art, and philosophy . . . and to convey the excitement of my discoveries to my students. More Info |

View CVLougheed Learning Commons 106 I primarily teach writing courses, and I direct the College Writing Center. My PhD is from the University at Albany's program in Writing, Criticism, and Teaching, which includes composition theory, critical theory, creative writing, and literary studies. My dissertation argues for a renewed debate about conventional writing instruction among composition teacher-scholars. My scholarship focuses on that argument, on writing center pedagogy, and on writing interns' experiential learning. I am happy to talk with students, whether we know each other or not, about your goals, questions, and opportunities at Potsdam. More Info |

http://www2.potsdam.edu/vanblos/Dr. Sharmain van Blommestein is an Associate Professor and the Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of English and Communication at SUNY Potsdam. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Florida and specializes in Medieval/Early modern literature, feminist theory, and women's and gender studies topics via British and American literary studies. Her research formulates a cultural and political context for the relationship/parallel between Medieval/Early Modern and contemporary issues on ideologies of the gendered body; the semiotic body; and the body/skin as book. She examines the cultural significations of, and the semiotic prescriptions deployed in, "writing" on, and reading of, the body/skin as an act of agency. These research interests also connect to topics pertaining to medieval medicine and the social approach to health and healing; the female body and prostitution; menstruation and reproduction; women and religious women; and disease from ancient to modern.
