About Lydia

While I was interviewing for my current position here, I remember stepping onto campus and feeling my heart literally warm as I saw the diversity of students.

I began teaching English at De Anza College in September of 2000. Prior to my arrival here, I had taught for over eight years at various other institutions including UC Santa Barbara, Westmont College, Santa Barbara City College, and Allan Hancock College.

I received my B.A. and M.A. in English Literature from UCSB, where I am also a doctoral candidate in Victorian Literature. I will receive a Ph.D. in 200? upon completing my dissertation entitled "W(h)istful Expectations: Gambling in Victorian England." (Anybody wanting to give me a 'kick in the butt' towards this endeavor is highly welcome.)

When I'm not teaching, I'm playing volleyball and basketball, singing in a rock/blues band, and working on a variety of interesting books with Internet writer Harley Hahn. You can see the books I've edited at www.harley.com.

Please stop by my office sometime to chat! I enjoy talking not only about writing and literature but, equally as important, about UCLA and Lakers (and now Warriors!) basketball games.
