Ph.D.Claremont Graduate School, 1995
Dr. Glover began her higher education at UC Davis, graduating with a BA in English in 1978. After a variety of jobs utilizing her writing skills (advertising, television, editing, grant writing, publishing, video production), she returned to academia by attending The Claremont Graduate School, from which she earned an M.A. in Literature in English in 1989 and a Ph.D. in Renaissance Literature in 1995. The focus of her dissertation was on the writings of English colonists in Ireland in the late fifteenth century (1569-98). She has since extended her research to also include the texts, both written and graphic, that arose from English colonization of North America at the beginning of the seventeenth century. During the course of this research, she has spent time in residence at both the Folger Shakespeare Library and the Newberry Library, where she was part of an NEH seminar on the history of cartography. Having taught at Pomona College, UC Riverside, University of Redlands, and Cal State San Bernardino, Dr. Glover returned to U.C Davis as a lecturer in composition in 1998. Shortly after her arrival, she joined the Putah-Cache Bioregion Project, which has given her scholarly work a "green" twist. She has just finished a book-length manuscript in which she links the 'green world' conventions found in Renaissance texts with contemporary beliefs about the necessity of withdrawal to 'wild' places. She also works creatively in several genres. Her poems have most recently appeared in the Fall 2000 issue of Terrain (LINK www.terrain.org) and Nimrod International Quarterly. She is working on a book of creative non-fiction called Conversion, a collection of linked essays about recreational places that were converted from other uses (for example, a mine pit turned boating lake), and on a work of historical fiction that invents a life of Desdemona based on Shakespeare's Othello. She has been awarded a three-month residency at the Dorland Mountain Arts Colony to complete this project. On April 27, she will be performing with other poets at the Putah-Cache Bioregion Project (LINK http://wdsroot.ucdavis.edu/clients/pcbr/) Arts Festival at the Guinda Grange. Dr. Glover has taught Introduction to Literature (English 3), Advanced Composition (101), legal writing (English 104B), and bioregional writing (102G) at Davis, as well as Close Reading of Poetry (English 45) and Shakespeare (English 117A). Dr. Glover is also associated with the Nature and Culture Programat Davis, team-teaching the field work component of the senior capstone course in 1999 and 2000, and, with microbiologist Mark Wheelis, co-teaching NAC 100: Theoretical Framework and Case Studies/Human Nature in 2001.
