9. TEACHING, ADVISING AND INSTRUCTIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Because the English Department has both an open curriculum and a film and media program, I have been able develop an average of two new courses on entirely new topics each year while teaching two others for a second or third time. All my courses have websites. See http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/burt/syllabi.html . In class, I practice collaborative leaning or what I Enter Your Name Here Page: 3

call “TeachingLearning.” There means that the teacher constructs a well-designed class, gives students directions in the metaphorical sense (the class is going here--this is our destination, here's a map) and in a clear way. The teacher makes difficult texts accessible to students—so that they may read analytically with close formal attention. Furthermore, the teacher shows the students some possible ways, practices of reading—how to do it, here are the moves, here’s how to play the game. The students learn reading strategies, somewhat like they would learn if playing chess. On the other hand, learning is not a linear process in the case of reading literature and film. To read closely is to reread, to return to the text or film and find things you missed, to correct errors of interpretation. I call my teaching practice "TeachingLearning" not only because the teacher may learn from his or her students, but because teachers learn more about what they are teaching as they teach it--teaching is doing (or learning). In order to involve the students in collaborative learning, I have them co-lead discussion in pairs twice during the semester. I advise them as follows: “Remember that you will lead (as in guide) discussion, not do a report or lecture. You can assume that the class has done the reading or seen the film (so there's no need to summarize the reading or film). You can both pose questions and solicit them but in a way that makes use and develops some crucial issues (rather than a town hall format where questions are posed randomly). The discussion leaders are not supposed to (have to) do all the talking. Feel free to call on students in the class, if you wish. Also, remember that in preparing discussion you end up taking lots of notes and that you will have far more material to discuss than we will actually cover in class. Teaching is like writing in this respect; you (should) always have more notes, more text than you end up keeping for your final draft. I'll email everyone in each group so you can correspond by email to set up a time to meet. I suggest you meet together in person the weekend before you co-lead and watch the film together, then write up your notes together. Please email me your notes as a word document at least 72 hours before the class you will lead. I will meet your group (all members if possible, but at least person in the group if not) in my office sometime either before or after class for 20-30 minutes (or more, depending) the class immediately before (two days, approx 48 hours) your group will co-lead class. For example: Monday: email me your collective notes as a word doc; Tuesday, we meet in person; Wednesday, email me your final notes; Thursday, co-lead class. When we meet in person, we can talk more about the materials you'll be teaching and I can give some feedback. You can contact me anytime to meet in person or by email to talk about the readings and / or film on which you'll be leading the discussion.” And to make sure that the other students in the class participate in class discussion, I have them write two discussion questions on each reading and, if any) On the website I have written: “This format can work extremely well, but only if all of you are all well prepared for discussion and only if you in fact do participate in class. You should be just as prepared to discuss on days you are not leading discussion as on days you are. Your questions should arise from a close reading of the film or reading. Your questions may or may not come up in class, but all students will (or should) read all of them.” I also meet with the students in conferences during the semester when I return their first papers to them and give each student to offer feedback on their performance in the course thus far. I also invite them to make concrete suggestions for improving the course.

13. CONTRIBUTION TO DISCIPLINE/RESEARCH NARRATIVE (ALL FACULTY) Since I came to the University of Florida in Fall 2003 as a Full Professor, I have published a single- authored book, Medieval and Early Modern Film and Media (2008; paperback edition, 2010); an edited two- volume encyclopedia Shakespeares After Shakespeare: An Encyclopedia of the Bard in Mass Media and Popular Culture (2006); a co-edited book Shakespeare, the Movie II: Popularizing the Plays on Film, TV, Video and DVD; and a thirty-eight thousand word monograph on “Posthumous Publication” in rhizomes (2010). I have also published eighteen refereed and widely-cited articles and book chapters as well as three shorter essays in my seven and a half years at UF on topics including Shakespeare, Renaissance Drama, literary theory, three articles on the Bayeux Tapestry in film; and three articles on “movie medievalism.” One of my essays appeared in Thomas Middleton and Early Modern Textual Culture (Oxford Univ. Press, 2007), a book that was awarded the Modern Language Association’s biennial prize for “Distinguished Scholarly Edition 2007-2008.” I have five more articles now at press and five more commissioned articles in progress and under contract. I have drafted a fourth book entitled File Under “Life”: Biopolitics and the Boundaries of Publication and begun authoring a book entitled What’s the Worst Thing You Can Do to Shakespeare? Cruxes and Crossroads. Part of the introduction to this book will appear as an article, now at press, in Renaissance Drama 2012.

Many of my articles and book chapters were occasioned by invitations I received to give keynote lectures on Shakespeare and other topics in Southampton, England; Rouen, France; Taipei, Taiwan; Lodz, Poland; and London, England. Other articles were developed from papers I delivered at meetings of the Modern Language Association (2004 and 2007), the International Shakespeare Association (2006 and 2011), and the Shakespeare Association of America (2007). I was invited to deliver two solo lectures and one three keynote lecture in Shanghai, China: “What’s the Worst Thing You Can Do to Shakespeare?” at the Donghua Universityclebron Page 12 4/5/2018, October 11, 2011 Shakespeare’s Reader: Friend or Foe?”at the Shanghai Drama Academy, October 14, 2011 and “Face-booking Shakespeare: What’s Not to Like?” at the International Shakespeare Forum at Donghua University, October 15, 2011. I was also invited to participate in a web-conference on “Materialities of Text: Between the Codex and the Net'” in October 2011, the proceedings of which will be published in the journal New Formations. On Sept. 24, 2011, Prof. Nick Thoburn the conference organizer and journal issue editor wrote me the following: “Dear Richard, I have just read your draft of ‘Shelf-Life,’ which I very much enjoyed; it's a fascinating - and moving - piece that I can see fitting excellently in the conference and journal. I will look forward to discussing it with you” [[email protected]]. In July 2011, I was invited by Prof. Mariangela Tempura to a give a keynote lecture at the University of Ferrara, Italy in May 2013. My research has also been enabled by support from UF. With funding from France Florida, I organized a conference on Medievalism in Film in 2004 and published several of the essays in a special issue of Exemplaria in 2006. Faculty seminars have been another important resource for my publications. I took a NEH seminar on Enter Your Name Here Page: 13

the Bayeux Tapestry at Yale University in the Summer of 2005, which led to an invitation to give a paper on the Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum in 2009 (the paper was published in a book edited by the conference organizer). I also took a two-year faculty seminar on “Secular Judaism” held at UF through the Jewish Studies Program from 2007-2009.

33. THE FURTHER INFORMATION SECTION

In his letter to President Machen dated March 10, 2011, Dean D’Anieri strongly recommended my application for an SPP award. Dean D’Anieri wrote: “The committee concluded that this is an excellent case for an SPP award, and I agree. Professor Burt has provided clear evidence of high-quality performance, consistent with assignments, in teaching, scholarship/creative activity, and service. I therefore before strongly support the application for an SPP award.” Despite Dean D’Anieri’s strong recommendation for an SPP award based on my consistently “high quality performance” at UF, President Machen wrote to inform me in his letter dated June 21, 2011 that my “application for the Salary Plan for Full Professors was unsuccessful in this cycle.” I am therefore reapplying for an SPP award.

I am an internationally recognized scholar in several fields, Shakespeare, censorship studies, film and media studies, and literary theory, among others, whose publications are widely and often cited. My work has not only contributed to these fields of research but has also redefined them. In addition to publishing, since I came to UF as a Full Professor in 2003, a single authored book (2008; paperback 2010), a monograph (2010), an edited two volume encyclopedia (2006), an edited anthology, twenty-three single authored book chapters and articles, all of which I listed in my previous SPP award application, I have written, over the past year, four single authored book chapters and one co- authored refereed journal article, all of which are now at press (at page proofs stage):

Robert Post (Santa Monica, CA; Getty Research Institute Publications, 1998), 17-41.

You can find a short exposé in the journal Mitteilungen der Gesellschaft für Buchforschung in Österreich (www.buchforschung.at)," Michael Wögerbauer, Head of the Department for Research into Literary Culture Institute of Czech Literature of the Czech Academy of Sciences. I met with Zdenek Berzaff, the translator, in Prague to discuss my essay when attending the International Shakespeare Congress July 17-22, 2011. Enter Your Name Here Page: 27

I have been invited by Prof. Mariangela Tempura to a give a keynote lecture at a conference on Shakespeare References to be held at the University of Ferrara, Italy in May 2013. I brought Professor Harry Berger, Jr. to speak at UF at my own expense in November 2010.

Here are just a few indications of the multiple ways in which I am recognized as an international authority in several scholarly fields: I regularly read manuscripts for university presses and journals devoted to film adaptation, Shakespeare, medieval studies, and literary theory; reviewers of book anthologies consistently single out my chapters for praise, and the TLS reviewer of the award winning Oxford edition of Thomas Middleton and Early Modern Textual Culture: A Companion to the Collected Works mentioned by title just one chapter in the entire book—the one I wrote; I have been an external examiner on Ph.D. theses on Shakespeare in universities in Australia and Malaysia; I was asked by the editor to review the ninth edition of David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson’s Film Art, a canonical textbook in film studies; I was also asked to contribute an annotated bibliography of fifty Shakespeare films to the Norton edition of Shakespeare; my work on the Bayeux Tapestry was quoted and cited by the director of the Centre Guillame le Conquerant (William the Conquerer Center) in Bayeux, France in the catalogue for an exhibition on medieval Japanese scrolls and the Bayeux Tapestry held there in 2011; and I have been quoted by Ellen Lupton on graphic design in the New York Times.

Journal Special Issues Guest Editor:

Guest Co-Editor for a special issue on “Movie Medievalism” of Exemplaria 19: 2 (2007).

Teaching:

After my colleague Professor James Paxon took his own life in the second week of the Spring Semester of 2011, I taught his Chaucer gradate seminar, ENL 6216. I designed the seminar from the ground up. The course website is at http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/burt/chaucer’swake/

My teaching evaluation scores are tyically above the Department mean and always well above the College mean.
