How does Miami of Ohio sound?
I think I just met my next academic/intellectual crush - Sherrie Inness. This is my shit, people! I'm so pumped! I'll surely be reading one of her books this summer (if not several), but just check out these awesomely nerdy and right-up-my-alley interests that she has:
Teaching Interests
- Nineteenth– and twentieth–century American literature and culture
- Composition, gender studies
- United States popular culture
- Children’s literature and culture
- Gender and food culture
Research Interests
- Nineteenth– and twentieth–century American literature and culture
- Gender studies
- United States popular culture
- Children’s literature and culture
- Girl’s studies
- Food culture
Whaaaat. Awesome. I know. Right? Anyone else in?
Now I have to think about what life in Ohio, in a Literature department would be like. At least I have several years to drive myself crazy with this stuff.

Really though, she's just settling in Ohio 'cause that's where property is cheap(er). See how she spent her Ph.D. years in San Diego? Smart one.
The native american tribe known as "Miami" were originally from the Ohio area and the university chose the name well before that snooty rich kid school/city in FLA. BTW, Ohio is from the native american word for the river that runs along the southern border of the state.
