Rosemary Millar

Rosemary Millar is an Associate Professor of Humanities, Literature and Writing in the Division of Liberal Arts. Her classes are interdisciplinary within a hybrid mode, blending different teaching styles (lecture, demonstrator, facilitator, student as teacher, group work) to respond to the needs of diverse learning. She uses this style to illuminate the significance of academics and the arts on each other.

Additionally, Millar is a self-proclaimed Trekkie and loves zombies, so she tends to incorporate narratives about Star Trek and zombies into student learning. Her classroom is a safe space for students’ voices, welcoming productive disagreement and fostering energetic dialogue through class discussion and assignments.

I endeavor to hone students’ reading, critical thinking , writing, verbal and creative skills to help them succeed in their professional goals
