| Academic Interests | |
Professor Boren's teaching interests are in helping students cultivate their reading and writing skills. He teaches primarily American literature, from the late eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries. His courses tend to be thematically developed, and the areas are, most often, gothic literature, madness, Romanticism, and slavery. Dr. Boren's teaching is also closely tied to his active research in those areas. He is currently working on a manuscript following unusual constructions of masculinity and femininity in nineteenth-century American literature and is continuing a study of the language associated with the American slave trade. His critical approaches in research, and often in the classroom, are informed by psychoanalytic theory, based on close reading practices. |
