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 CVI've been teaching at SUNY Potsdam for more than twenty years, having started in the fall of 2001. Since that time, I've taught 131 sections of 53 different courses, ranging from introductory courses in literature and composition to specialized upper-division and graduate seminars in various topics related to (mostly) contemporary fiction. A full list of what I've taught here can be found on my CV. Over the course of those two-plus decades, I've also kept myself busy with a range of scholarly projects, the majority of which have some connection to the topic of satire. My first book, Unvarnishing Reality: Subversive Russian and American Cold War Satire (Univ. of South Carolina Press, 2011), is a substantially revised version of my doctoral dissertation and remains the only scholarly book to compare Russian and American literature during the Cold War. My subsequent books -- Understanding Colson Whitehead (Univ. of South Carolina Press, 2014, rev. ed. 2021) and Jesting in Earnest: Percival Everett and Menippean Satire (Univ. of South Carolina Press, 2019) -- examine the work of a pair of brilliant contemporary American authors. My current work-in-progress -- Counteracting Erasure and "Unvisibility": Constructions of Empowered Black Identity in Contemporary American and Canadian Fiction -- will be the first comparative study of contemporary African American and Black Canadian authors upon publication. I have also edited or co-edited a number of other books that have opened the window through which I look at the contemporary world even wider. Along with the late and deeply missed Owen E. Brady of Clarkson University, I co-edited Finding a Way Home: Critical Essays on Walter Mosley (Univ. Press of Mississippi, 2008). My SUNY Potsdam colleague James J. Donahue and I have co-edited a pair of collections of new scholarship on contemporary African American satire, Post-Soul Satire: Black Identity after Civil Rights (Univ. Press of Mississippi, 2014) and Greater Atlanta: Blackness and Satire after Obama (Univ. Press of Mississippi, 2023). Alongside these longer-form publications, I've also published dozens of journal articles, book chapters, and reference-work entries. I've produced more than fifty book reviews and have served as an external manuscript reviewer for more than a dozen scholarly journals and academic presses. I have been invited to give public lectures at institutions in Austria, Canada, Croatia, Germany, Italy, Russia, and Turkey, and have presented my work at conferences throughout North America and Europe. I have also served my department, my college, and SUNY Potsdam as a whole in a wide range of administrative capacities.

View CVMy teaching and research specialties include early American literature, from the Age of Exploration to the Civil War. In each of my classes, I strive to teach my students how to interpret literature and culture with precision and to convey their ideas with vigor. I also want students to enjoy what they read and write as they realize how interpretive rigor fosters complex awareness of both ourselves and the world. I'm particularly interested in American writers' representations of places, real and imagined. I devote much of my scholarship to interdisciplinary analyses of cities and national geographies, as well as local environments such as the Adirondacks. My first book, Urban Revelations: Images of Ruin in the American City, 1790-1860 (Routledge Press 2006), examines the ways in which American writers rely on images of ruin to represent cities as sites of instability and cultural impermanence. The study focuses on fiction written by Philip Freneau, Charles Brockden Brown, Edgar Allan Poe, and Herman Melville. I'm currently composing a book on the environmental aspects of urban cellars and basements in nineteenth-century American literature. Chapter three of the book has been published in ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and the Environment 20:2 (Spring 2013): 356-376. It's called "'From Some Unmentionable Cellar': The Natural World of the Urban Underground in Mid-Nineteenth-Century American Literature." I'm also the Editor in Chief of Blueline: A Literary Magazine Dedicated to the Spirit of the Adirondacks, as well as the Potsdam College Press. The Press publishes works relating to the Adirondacks, including writing that focuses on the literature and culture of northern New York, New England, and eastern Canada. My profile picture was taken in front of the Newgrange Monument, in County Meath, Ireland. The monument is a Neolithic temple and "passage tomb" built around 3200 B.C. near the Boyne River. One of the most important ancient sites in Ireland, the monument predates Stonehenge and the Pyramids at Giza. More Info |

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. Her present research involves partly writing/editing two encyclopedias: Women's Reproductive Lives: An Encyclopedia of Health, History, and Popular Culture; and Gynecology and Reproduction in Medieval/Renaissance Culture.

My courses contain a combination of traditional lecture notes, in-class activities, labs, and field trips when possible. My goal is to teach critical thinking skills applicable to all life pursuits within the context of the awesome field of geology. I am a field geologist that specializes in understanding stream systems and the interaction and influence that human activities have on these complex systems. My past research has focused on a dam removal in New England, studying impact and influence of small dams in the Mid-Atlantic, and using heavy metal (Pb) as a tracer of mining activities in central Missouri.

View CVhttp://www.pagequinton.weebly.com I teach Principles of Paleontology, Geochemistry, Climate Change: Past and Present, Historical Geology, and Geology Seminar. My classes use a combination of traditional lecture and hands-on experience in lab. Whenever possible I try to pull examples from current scientific literature so that students become familiar with ongoing research in the field. My expertise is in paleoclimatology. I use a combination of stable isotope geochemistry, and micropaleontology to study how the Earth's climate changed through time. Research interests include 1) understanding the dynamics of the global carbon cycle, climate change, and major mass extinction events and 2) the use of stable oxygen isotopes to understand the paleoecology of conodonts (extinct marine eel-like organisms). My research involves both laboratory and field components. The field component has taken me from road outcrops in Alabama to rock exposures on sheep ranches in Australia. Students who complete research with me work on projects focusing on the collection and identification of microfossil assemblages and the use of stable carbon and oxygen isotopes to address paleoclimatic questions.

My projects have largely focused on Late Paleozoic rocks in the Maritimes Basin (Atlantic Canada), Appalachian Basin (eastern USA), Anadarko Basin (Texas and Oklahoma), and numerous basins in eastern Australia. Most of the undergraduate research projects that I supervise have a field component where students measure and describe rocks in the field and a lab component where they examine samples under the microscope and/or send them in for geochemical analysis. I worked as a consultant for Devon Energy from 2011-2013 and spend my summers (since 2011) co-teaching Indiana University's Field Geology in the Northern Rocky Mountains (G429).

My research in mantle and magmatic systems has been based primarily in the Big Bend region of Texas, the Jemez Lineament in New Mexico, the Snake River Plain, and in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, as well as several years of focus on Mars and the Moon. I have also worked on metamorphism and hydrothermal alteration of volcanic and intrusive rocks and in ore deposits in Alaska and Maine. I look forward to establishing projects in the Adirondacks, which display a fascinating interaction of igneous, metamorphic, and hydrothermal processes. I have long been involved in field education and in mentoring undergraduate research. My research students generally augment fieldwork with petrography and electron microprobe analysis, and past student projects have also incorporated varying degrees of geochemical modeling. In addition to academia, I spent five years working on lunar and martian rocks with NASA, including as a member of the Mars Exploration Rover science team from 2010-12. During my B.S. and M.S. years I worked in mineral exploration in Alaska and I have recently returned to research in this field. More Info |
