Her current research interests are Reader Visualization (what we visualize
while we read, how our visualizations affect our understanding of the text,
and what techniques authors use to promote visualization in their readers),
Literary Adaptation Theory and Practice, 19th Century Russian Literature
(Leo Tolstoy in particular), and 20th Century Eastern European Literature
and Film.
I was born in Wisconsin,
went to college at Northwestern University, and received my doctorate in Slavic
Languages and Literature from Princeton
University, where I met my husband,
Chad. We married and came to
Kirksville in 1999 when
Chad
accepted a position in philosophy. I was hired by Truman the following year
as Director of Writing Assessment and Assistant Professor of English.
I love foreign and
independent films, Asian food, and world music, and I enjoy going for walks
with our Yorkshire terrier, Barkley. My husband and I recently adopted a
daughter from China, Grace Helen LingXia Mohler.
Her favorite quotation?
"Love is Life. All, everything that I
understand, I understand only because I love."
-Leo Tolstoy
