In recent years he has taught courses in American film, film genres, Jane Austen, madness and literature, and Restoration and 18th-century literature. He has twice visited Slovenia on visiting Fulbright professorships. In his scholarship, he studies why audiences respond to film and literature as they do and what those responses mean.
