Nancy Arnesen

Professor of English

Professor Nancy Arnesen thinks carefully about the challenges many people see in finding careers with liberal arts degrees. 鈥淭here is not always a straight line between undergraduate major and post-college life,鈥� she says. 鈥淭his need not be a negative鈥攊n fact, it is arguably a great strength.鈥�

In her courses, students encounter life鈥檚 biggest dilemmas through the work of ancient and modern authors, a practice that creates both safety and challenge for students considering their own place in the world.

Arnesen鈥檚 teaching and research interests span a wide swath of literature and related disciplines, including Shakespeare, Early Modern English literature, Milton, Spenser, feminist approaches to literature, and neuroscience and literature. She is grateful for the community of learners at 草莓影视 that helps to foster such wide interests in faculty and students. 鈥淚 find the life of the academic community at 草莓影视 to be a constant parade of interesting and thought-provoking ideas, events, and opportunities,鈥� she says.
