Connolly, Tristanne
Biography
Before coming to Waterloo, I was Assistant Professor at Butler University in Indiana, and before that, Instructor at Auburn University in Alabama. I did my BA and MA at McMaster, majoring in English with a minor concentration in Religious Studies for both degrees. My MA thesis was on medieval dream visions. I continued to live in the mystical past by pursuing my PhD on Blake at King's College, Cambridge, where I was an acolyte in the beautiful Gothic chapel. I'm originally from Hamilton, so being at St. Jerome's is like coming home -- both geographically and intellectually, since here, as well as my speciality in Romanticism and my interest in theology and medievalism, I can also indulge my love of Canadian literature. I've given lectures on Can Lit at various universities in Japan, and at St. Jerome's I co-organize, with Gary Draper, the Canada Council-funded Reading Series, and am on the Editorial Board of The New Quarterly.
