Ph.D. University of California,
1984 Dr. Schroeder received a Bachelor's degree in English literature and classical Greek from UCLA in 1976 and a Masters of Arts in Renaissance Studies from Sussex University in Brighton, England in 1977. He returned to UCLA where, in 1984, he completed his doctorate in which he examined American literary responses to the Vietnam war. He was initially hired by UC Davis in the fall of 1984 to teach adjunct writing courses (English 102) for the Campus Writing Center, and in that capacity has taught writing classes for students in a wide range of disciplines, including engineering, computer science, genetics, psychology, political science, history, African-American studies, and philosophy. In addition to these discipline-specific writing courses, he also has taught a variety of other writing classes, from lower-division courses (English 1, 3, and 19) to advanced composition (English 101) and professional writing - technical and business writing (English 104A), journalism (English 104C) and writing for teachers (English 104D). Literature courses he has taught include Introduction to American Literature, Twentieth Century American Literature, and Special Topics in American Literature - The Vietnam War. Dr. Schroeder has also taught courses in the American Studies Program since 1989 and in the Integrated Studies Program since 1990. For American Studies he regularly teaches classes on popular culture (AMS 130), symbols and rituals in American life (AMS 155) and the 1960s (AMS 110). He has also taught a course on American autobiography, another on the 1890s, and seminars on the Vietnam war, Las Vegas, and the architecture of Disney (the latter two featured field trips). For Integrated Studies (the residential first-year honors program) he has taught an interdisciplinary course on the Vietnam war and currently teaches a course where students mount a full-scale production of a Shakespeare play each spring. He maintains an active interest in representations of the Vietnam war in American culture, having published articles and reviews on this subject. His book, Vietnam, We've All Been There: Interviews with American Writers, was published in 1992, and in 1995 he organized an international conference, "Vietnam Legacies: Twenty Years Later" at the Davis campus. He is a co-founder and editor of Writing on the Edge, a journal about writing and the teaching of writing that is published at Davis, and a co-founder and former editor of Prized Writing, an anthology of student writing published annually at UC Davis. He is currently serving as the Director of the Summer Sessions Abroad program, which offers 36 courses in 24 countries around the world. He also teaches in this program having done classes in Scotland, Australia, and South Africa. His nonacademic interests include scuba diving, horseback riding, and wildlife photography.
