| Long abstract | In the spring of my first year at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho, I stood before a standing-room-only crowd in the on-campus coffee shop, prepared to give an informal talk as part of the Humanities Division’s ongoing colloquium series. Other professors had run small but intellectually substantial discussions about, for example, tigers in Romantic poetry. I was here to talk about monstrous women, Middle English romance, and the fairy Melusine. I had a set of PowerPoint slides. I had a packed audience, composed not just of my colleagues and seminar students but, I suspected, other students earning extra credit. Giving this talk on my research felt like a good way to introduce myself as the new assistant professor of English. It felt like a good way to give students a small taste of medieval litera-ture that might lure them into further study. It felt like one of the many ways I was still attempting to prove, to the division and to myself, that, though the hiring process was long complete, I was indeed the right person for this job. |
