Janine is Associate Professor and Chair of English at Widener University. She is active in faculty development, assessment (especially of writing and critical thinking), and general education initiatives on campus. Her teaching responsibilities include first-year writing, gen ed literature courses, and upper-level courses in the English major focusing on 19th and 20th century British literature, as well as a senior capstone on James Joyce’s Ulysses. As a teacher, she tries to foster a collaborative, dialogic approach, thinking about ways to facilitate the co-creation of knowledge and ethos in the classroom. Off-campus she is active in the cultural community in the Philadelphia area, working with the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Delaware County Public Library System and running a Finnegans Wake Reading Group. Janine is a regular blogger on issues in higher ed for University of Venus at Inside Higher Ed, and an occasional one for ProfHacker at the Chronicle of Higher Education. She has published a book on James Joyce and is currently working on another one about life writing.
