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 schedules to the right. (The picture above is student work. Thank you Ms. Holmquist!)
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 teach a course at SFSU from 16 July to 17 August, T/TH (09:00-13:00). You can register if you're interested. Search the Summer 2007 semester with the course abbreviation "Comparative and World Literature (CWL)" and a course number of 250. The title of the class is Fables and Tales. Priority registration begins 16 April and open registration starts 30 April. If you want a preview of the syllabus, send me an email and I'll get back to you when I complete it. I big thanks to Prof. D. Leitao for inviting me to teach it and to my current students in British literature at Alma Heights for sharing their favorites fables and tales with me. I'm leaning towards a great set of Turkish tales recorded, translated and transcribed by Prof. Dr. Ahmet Edip Uysal and Warren Stanley Walker, which you can find at .
