Dr. Robertson has been a member of the English faculty since 1996.  In that time, she has taught a variety of both literature and writing courses for the program, including Shakespeare, British Literature I, British Literature II, History of the English Language, Major Authors, Women Writers, Studies in Narrative, The Teaching of Literature & Writing, Literary Interpretation, Intro to Writing Studies, and Writing Studies II.  She is especially interested in the intersections of history and literature, using New Historicism as well as feminist and Marxist theory to inform her approach to the courses she teaches.

 In her spare time, she likes to garden, knit and read -- her Kindle is her newest passion -- and between April and September, she cheers the Cincinnati Reds and boos the St. Louis Cardinals.  The Reds' too-early exit from the playoffs in October 2012 remains a touchy subject.
