She has taught a wide variety of graduate and undergraduate courses (for which she received a University Excellence in Teaching Award). Her more recent teaching focuses on literature from the late eighteenth century onward, especially on poetry, on Romanticism (authors ranging from Mary Wollstonecraft to John Keats), on late Romanticism, and on courses touching on The Aesthetic Movement, Modernism and the Irish Renaissance (with an emphasis on Oscar Wilde and W.B. Yeats). All these courses engage their literary, historical and social contexts as well as our own, and emphasize the pleasures and transformations of the text.
