About

Cheri Buck-Perry teaches integrative courses in the core curriculum designed to explore the rich intersection between academic disciplines. Her courses include ENG 191 Thinking through Literature: Reading and Writing Cultures of Food, in which students investigate identity, hunger, and our complex relationship with food and the environment, and ENG 191 Thinking Through Literature: Thresholds of Resistance in the Modern World, a course that investigates the dynamic conversation between literature and key historical movements. (Both courses are designed as co-requisites with core Environmental Science and History requirements.) Professor Buck-Perry also teaches ENG 112 Thinking Through Literature: Ways of Knowing and ENG 107 College Writing. Her interests include pedagogy, food literature and studies, and literature of the American West.
