This website explores ideas that I and my colleagues and students are pursuing about what engages us with literature and what the literary cultivation of empathy can mean in poetics and education.
On Reading
An evolving research project on ecologies of reading: we try to learn more about how people read, and in particular, how literature is experienced in university coursework in relation to what instructors hope students will gain from it.
On Wonder
Writings on wonder as an experience of moral extravagance.
