Syllabus
After teaching for almost 30 years at Boston College, Professor Susan Michalczyk still believes that there is always something new, creative, and memorable to discover with each course she teaches. During her undergraduate studies at BC, as well as throughout her doctoral studies at Harvard, she pursued her main interests in comparative literature, language, art and film. In 1992, she returned to Boston College, as a member of the A&S Honors Program faculty, and continues to share these interests through her teaching.
Her publications include essays on the impact of the autobiographical narrative/memory experience as it relates to art, film and literature. She has been a partner with her husband, John Michalczyk, also a professor at BC, in both teaching and film production for over twenty-five years, focusing on issues of social justice and human rights.
Beyond the classroom, Susan currently serves as faculty advisor to The Gavel and the College Democrats, and as a member of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Committee, and was honored to serve as president of the BC chapter of the American Association of University Professors, and Vice-president of the national AAUP, for many years. At home, when not correcting papers, Susan enjoys spending time with her husband, kids, kids-in-law, and five grandkids, and can sometimes even find enough time for creativity, with her writing, gardening, needlework, and baking.
