Why did you choose Lafayette?

I chose Lafayette because I wanted to teach creative writing and queer literature at a college that values these subjects, and the arts and humanities more broadly, especially in times when these values are challenged. I’m excited to work with the accomplished faculty in the English Department and with Lafayette’s highly engaged students.
