English SMPs
by Professor
Jeff Hammond’s SMPs
I am comfortable mentoring SMPs in both literary/cultural studies and nonfiction writing. My expertise and interests tend to run toward older texts and contexts (early American, earlier British, biblical, classical). Nonfiction SMPs might include creative/literary nonfiction, popular journalism, and autobiographical writing.
