My name is Margarette Connor,
and I'm a native of the New York City area. While earning my PhD
at the City University of New York's Graduate School and
University Center, I taught language and literature courses for
both the City University and for State and private colleges in
New York. When I completed my degree, I accepted a position as
associate professor of English literature at Fu Jen University
in Hsinchuang. While there I taught a number of courses,
especially in my specialty, Restoration and 18th Century British
Literature. I left Taiwan and Fu Jen with a heavy heart after
only three years. I ended up in Geneva, Switzerland, where I
taught for Webster University and worked on the Board of
Directors of the American Library. After four years there, I
have landed in a small village in Sweden. From here, I teach
on-line for Fu Jen. I m also teaching here in Sweden at
Linköping University s Institute for Language and Culture, both
in the undergraduate English department and in the Master s in
European Cultures and Languages program.
My hobbies are reading
mystery novels, going to see films, hiking in the forests around
here and travel. I live in Sweden with my Swedish husband, my
son Matt, who still misses Taiwan, a very silly cat, and a
Swedish dog, who can't speak English
