Marshall Johnson

Summary

Marshall’s teaching and research interests are the novel, the Bildungsroman or coming-of-age novel, 19th and 20th century British and Irish literature, and first-year writing. He views teaching as his service to students every day and research as his service to future generations. Marshall wants students to view language as a means of creating the futures they imagine for themselves.
