SETH R. KATZ
Seth Katz was appointed to Bradley as an Assistant Professor in 1992, after completing his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago in 1991, where he also received an A.M. in 1985. His educational background prior to the University of Chicago includes a B.A. from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (1984). He also received the Mellon Fellowship in the Humanities from the University of Chicago in 1984, which continued until 1989. His special fields include computer-supported literature, literature and writing instruction, linguistics, grammar, language theory, poetics, and stylistics. He teaches courses in literature, ENG. 115: Introduction to Literature; ENG. 127: British Writers; and ENG. 378: Individual Authors--Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot; in writing, ENG. 101: Freshman Composition; ENG. 306: Business Communications; and CIV. 111-112: the combined course in Western Civilizations and English Composition; and in linguistics, ENG. 311: Introduction to Language; ENG. 312: English Grammar; and ENG. 510: Language Theory.
Professor Katz's recent research has focused on two areas: how to improve courses and teaching in literature through the use of computers and other nontraditional means; and the grammatical structure of poetic language. He is currently working on an article on the poetic use of sentence fragments and he is collaborating with Sarah Stevens, an English-Secondary Education major, on an article about the place of grammar in the K-12 language arts curriculum. Professor Katz has also supervised a number of graduate and undergraduate independent study courses on various topics in linguistics and computer applications in the study of literature and language.
Professor Katz also serves as coordinator for the department's computer classroom in Bradley Hall 331; is the faculty sponsor for the Bradley School of Classic Fence; and is an active member of a number of online discussion groups on topics related to computers, teaching, and scholarly work in literature, composition, and the humanities.
