Circle of Excellence for Research 2005

Dr. Chris Malone is an assistant professor of English and is the winner of the Circle of Excellence for Research in 2005. Dr. Malone's research interests range from modern Irish culture to contemporary literature and theory. He has recently published essays in collections dealing with Irish modernists such as W.B. Yeats, James Joyce, and Samuel Beckett. He has also written about the cultural function of life writing, in particular, the differences between multicultural and postmodern memoir forms. He will present a paper dealing with this subject at the Midwest Conference on British Studies, at the University of Notre Dame in the fall of 2005.

Dr. Malone is currently interested in exploring (with his colleague in Humanities, Dr. Andrew Vassar) the ways in which travel can enrich the teaching of literature and humanities courses.
