My publications, relevant to my research have been related to film adaptation. I have presented papers at various conferences on both research interests, but my main interest has been to design and offer courses (online and face-to-face) in both areas of research interest for the benefit of my students, who have always come first in my 40-year career. I am most proud of my course on the nature of cinematic adaptations and my historically most popular course on representations of evil and transgression. From the first course on evil, I have polled my students on which course they would choose--a course on evil or a course on goodness. Predictably, the majority always choose evil, so the question that they have to formally answer by the end of the course is, "Why is evil more interesting than goodness?"
