Alexander Grammatikos

Instructor

I am an Instructor at Langara College in Vancouver, B.C. (on unceded Musqueam territory). I study nineteenth-century politics and culture. One of my main interests is examining the poet Lord Byron’s relationship with Greece.

How has your ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ English degree informed your professional and/or creative path?

I received my position at Langara College one month after I completed my Ph.D. My doctorate from ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ led directly to a job for me.

Why ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´? What specific experiences or opportunities did you benefit from while studying English at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´?

I had an amazing time at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ and that is in large part thanks to my supervisor Paul Keen and advisors Julie Murray and Andrew Wallace. All three were so generous with their time and knowledge; they made me a better scholar over the course of my Ph.D.

My Ph.D. peers — too many to name here — also contributed to my positive graduate school experience. We were a team, and I am grateful to all of them.
