WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR
GRADUATE STUDENTS
Travis Ferrell
Travis Ferrell will be spending the next school
year at the University of Versailles near Paris as the winner of an
exchange fellowship. He will conduct a language practicum class for
students learning English as well as help them work on basic writing
skills. While at the university, he will also work on his thesis hours.
Teresa Hooper
Teresa Hooper recently presented a paper, “’An
Interstellar Boat-ride Into the Heart of Brightness’: C.S. Lewis’s
Inversion of Conrad in the Space Trilogy,” at the meeting of
the Philological Association of the Carolinas.
Teresa advises all grad students to attend at least
one conference during their grad experience. She said that PAC was
particularly nice because it is such a small and friendly conference,
is local, and is inexpensive to attend. While she was asked questions
following her presentation, they were all friendly, she stressed,
and useful for discussion. She was also impressed at the amount of
job networking that goes on at conferences.
Teresa is now trying to publish her paper.
