I have been teaching for the last twelve or so years at Alma Heights Christian Academy. My classes include a variety of honors and college prep courses in the English department. I'm teaching only senior level courses in 2007-2008, so I have paired down this site a bit. You can get some idea what this year's courses are like by clicking on the class syllabi to the right.
In other news... I passed my comprehensive oral exams Spring 2006. That means I've graduated with an M.A. in Comparative Literature with concentrations in Latin, Greek, and French literature! It was an exciting and rewarding finish. Waking up the morning after graduation ceremonies was, nonetheless, a bit like rolling over to find Leah. I haven't been able to get anyone to call me Magister Boyd.
If you wish to support me in strengthening the position of classics, comparative literature, and polyvalence in high school curriculum by delivering web-based resources to students who, for whatever reason, do not currently have access to materials for studying literature from a variety of cultures and periods, ask me how you can participate via the email address listed above.
For information about my education, teaching experience, and academic interests, see the curriculum vitae. It's better to email me, though. I dislike cv's for a variety of reasons.
I'm scheduled to guest lecture at SFSU on the 26 and 28 of February in Dr. Jackie Fulmer's Myths of the World course--T/TH (09:35-10:50) in HUM133. A big thanks to Dr. Fulmer for inviting me to lecture on Flannery O'Connor at Berkeley last Fall. I had a great time with her students and look forward to visiting with her class this Spring at SFSU.

My mom died in November 2004 after a long battle with inflammatory breast cancer. I've been relucant to post anything about it here, but I think it's probably ok. I miss you mom.
