At Professor Scott Newstok’s invitation, I taught part of a class in his course on Hamlet. The day I taught, Professor Newstok had assigned an essay I just published, "Hamlet's Hauntographology” (see above). As an experiment in ghost teaching, modeled on the Ghost in Hamlet, I called Scott on my cellphone, and he then put me on speaker-phone in the classroom. Students asked me questions and I answered them. No calls were dropped, and Professor Newstok told me afterward that the students enjoyed the experiment and learned from it. (print out email exchange).

Service to University

Academic Freedom, Tenure, Professional Relations and Standards Committee FOR SPP Service to the Profession:

Asian Shakespeare Association Founding Member, 2013 http://asianshakespeare.org

As an internationally recognized senior scholar, I regard travel to conferences to which I have been invited to give a keynote paper as a form of service. I advise and mentor many of the younger scholars I meet. I regard book reviews the same way. They are more a form of service than they are publications. I therefore have placed by place under the heading of professional service rather than research. I reserve research for the publication of peer-reviewed books, journal articles, and book chapters.
