David S Hogsette
As Professor of English and Head of the School of Education and English at the University of Nottingham, Ningbo, China, and Executive Director of the School of English Studies at Wenzhou-Kean University, Wenzhou, China, as well as having served as a director of writing at two liberal arts, career-oriented academic institutions, I have extensive experience in global education and administration in Sino-foreign higher education contexts, program and curriculum development, program administration, faculty recruitment and mentoring, and student employment supervision. My managerial style can be best characterized as collaborative, and I seek to empower faculty and students in their various roles at the institution.
In my teaching, I utilize student-centered, dialogic practices in which students engage content through small-group activities and critical research projects. I encourage my students to present their scholarship at student conferences, and I work with student assistants on faculty-student research projects. I have extensive experience teaching English literature and writing to L2 learners in Chinese English mode of instruction contexts.
I am an active scholar, having published three books and several articles in scholarly journals, as well as presenting at national and international conferences. My scholarship seeks to examine disciplinary intersections between literature, science, metaphysics, and religion.
Moreover, I am keenly interested in global education. I currently work at the University of Nottingham, Ningbo, China; previously, I worked at Wenzhou-Kean University in Wenzhou, China, two other universities in China, and a seminary in South Korea. Also, I led a study-abroad course to China. I believe in the necessity of global education, and I am thrilled to be afforded the opportunity to teach students from China and other parts of the world, encouraging them to contemplate what it means to be a human being in a global setting, striving for universal human flourishing.
Specialties: Romantic period literature, Gothic literature, science fiction, fantasy literature, composition, technical communication, critical thinking, global education
