Josh Adair

PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH; COORDINATOR, GENDER AND DIVERSITY STUDIES; COORDINATOR, HUMANITIES

"What I most fervently wish to communicate in my teaching of any subject is the interconnectedness of all things. When we draw arbitrary lines between subjects we limit perception, experience and possibility. Striving to defamiliarize the familiar, whether it be the reading of a favorite poem or learning to view a beloved film critically, I coax students toward embracing a multiplicity of perspectives and seeing intersectionality in all things."
