Featured 教师
Michael Milburn, PhD
Director of 英语 and 英语 Education Programs , Assistant Professor of Language and Literature, Fellow in Catholic Studies
I teach rhetoric and literature with the aim of developing students' capacity to recognize 良好的, 真正的, and the beautiful. I follow Scott Crider's assertion that "rhetoric is a liberal art which liberates one both to defend oneself against untrue persuasions and to fashion true ones."
I am interested in literary theory from Plato to the present and I apply this tradition to an integrated study of literature in its formal, historical, and theological dimensions. I am always looking for students with whom I can discuss Shakespeare, 托尔金, and the philosophical questions surrounding literature.
Nathan Kilpatrick, PhD
Associate Professor of 英语 and Catholic Studies
I teach at the undergraduate level in 英语 and Catholic studies and the graduate level for Catholic studies. I also serve as Gregorian Scholars Honors Program mentor and serve the men of the Fraternity of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati.
