Julie, her husband and two of her three children.

My first year as an Assistant Professor of Scandinavian Studies here at UW has been an eventful one. In addition to finding my way around Madison, developing a dependency on the Dane County Farmer's Market, and having a baby boy on May 5, I have taught courses in Fifth-semester Danish, Kierkegaard, and Scandinavian-American Heritage, as well as reviving  the History of Scandinavia two-course sequence that had been defunct for several years. I have an article about the Danish Lutheran priest Peter Christian Kierkegaard appearing in the Fall 2007 issue of BYU Studies, another about Danish-American autobiography in the Fall 2007 issue of The Bridge (published by the Danish American Heritage Society), and I am the co-translator of an edition of Annotated Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen being published by W.W. Norton in November 2007. I am currently working on a book about Georg Brandes and Asta Nielsen.
