My sister Christine is a much loved Professor of English Literature at a Canadian liberal arts college in the Maritimes. She earned degrees from Wilfrid Laurier, Waterloo, and Dalhousie Universities and has taught for seventeen years. Her PhD thesis was on Royal Mistresses and is definitely worth a read, if you can find it anywhere.

Her papers include Rossum’s Universal Robots Among the Ancients and Plato’s Republic and the Teachable Moment (co-authored with Dr. Patrick Malcomson).

Christine’s other passions include her cats, Star Trek, The Matrix movies, and bird-watching with a very patient man named Kevin.

To quote my sister: “…great books don’t get old…each year as I reread things, I find myself struck by something I hadn’t considered before…”
