Universal Design for Learning in ENGL 226 Non Western World Literature

Lisa Weihman

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR

Dr. Lisa Weihman has been a professor in the WVU Department of English since 2001, where she teaches both undergraduate and graduate classes in 20th Century British and Irish Literature. Originally from the Cleveland suburbs, Professor Weihman moved to Morgantown after completing her Ph.D. at New York University, but her family’s Appalachian roots extend back hundreds of years in Southwestern Pennsylvania and Preston County, West Virginia. Primarily an Irish Studies scholar, she has published work on Dorothy Macardle, Elizabeth Bowen, and Virginia Woolf, and is currently editing a critical edition of Somerville and Ross’s 1894 novel, The Real Charlotte. She regularly teaches undergraduate sections of Non Western World Literature, Images of Women in Literature, Contemporary Fiction, and upper-division classes in British and Irish Modernism, in addition to graduate surveys and seminars. Her hobbies include too much time spent on social media; walking her dog, Trixie; mudlarking for remnants of Morgantown glass along Deckers Creek; and photographing all the flora and fauna in White Park. She owns far too many house plants and thrift store cocktail glasses. Although she will always be a Mountaineer, she wants to be Italian when she grows up and hopes to move to Italy some day for a sun-soaked retirement filled with art, pasta, and Negronis. For now, though, she will continue to feed the backyard birds and enjoy the sunsets over Sabraton.
