| Karoline Klynderud karolineklynderud AT hotmail DOT com ANDROIDS (Kaley Doherty to Genevieve Kelley) office hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30 to 1:30pm--she can be found on the patio outside the Starbucks by the Arts and Letter Building  My
name is Karoline and I am an avid reader from Norway. I love all things
fiction and I will forever humblebrag (or just flat out brag) about
reading 112 books in 2017--Yes! That is possible!
I received my BA in 2016 in Education specializing in English,
Religion, Special Education, and Norwegian. Though I gravitate towards
children's and adolescent literature (fairy tales, identity, fantasy
etc) I have experience with LGBTQ+ lit, queer theory, the psychological
novel, and graphic novels (comics!). I currently am finishing up my MA
in Liberal Arts and Sciences (MALAS),
with a special emphasis on Literature. In the program, I am working
with fiction concerning maternal horror, as well as the wilderness in
children's lit, and the representation of women in fairy tales and
Disney productions. I own two blind cats and will of course show
pictures if you ask. |

| Stewart Parker stewart.parker.tx AT gmail DOT com ELECTRIC SHEEP (Alessandra Ramer to Hao Zheng) Tentative Office Hours: Tuesdays & Thursdays, 9-10; Wednesdays, 3-5pm in AL 283, the SDSU Press offices.  Stewart
Reid Parker grew up surrounded by the dusty planes of West Texas, in
the town of Odessa, one of the United State's most predominant
producers of natural gas and oil. Having grown up an only child with an
interest in creating music, film and art in a predominantly
conservative, blue-collar community, Stewart headed for the cultural
mecca that is Austin, Texas after high school graduation in 2002.
Stewart spent 10 formative years in Austin, Building his identity of
creative curiosity that eventually lead him back to the classroom in
2010. After studying film, literature and art at Austin Community
College, Stewart graduated from the University of Texas of the Permian
Basin with a BA in studio art and a minor in English. From there, he
entered the Ceramic Art program at San Diego State University's School
of Art + Design in 2016. Stewart's curiosity lead him into a number of
diverse classes at SDSU and he realized his passion for writing and
research had been too long on the backburner. Trading his pottery wheel
for a pencil and paper, he is now happily under the tutelage of the MALAS program, and through its guidance has hopes of continuing his career in academia at the Ph.D level. |
| William Nericcio Robotic Erotic Electric Office Hours: Tuesdays, 1 to 3pm in AL 273 (and by appointment--just write me here.)  Literature professor, public
intellectual, artist, and sometime troublemaker, William Nericcio was
born in the fabled "Streets of Laredo," Texas, or at Mercy Hospital, at
any rate, in 1961. For thirteen years he labored under the watchful, at
times sinister, eyes of sisters, brothers, and priests at Blessed
Sacrament Elementary and St. Augustine High School--no doubt this
contributes to the rumors that he was "raised by nuns" that makes its
way around the internets. With an undergraduate degree in English
honors from the University of Texas at Austin and an MA/PhD in
Comparative Literature from Cornell University, Nericcio now works as
the Director of the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts and Sciences and
Professor of English and Comparative Literature at San Diego State
University ... (more here). |
