- Mental Health
Andrew Murray came to UVic in 1990 to do an MA. After beginning a PhD in 1992, he gradually morphed into a sessional instructor and then a continuing sessional. He taught his first class for the English Department in Fall 1995 and has been teaching ever since. In 2014, Andrew was hired as an Assistant Teaching Professor with his primary responsibilities being in the Division of Academic Writing, now the Academic and Technical Writing Program. Andrew's doctoral dissertation was on representations of reading in Chaucer, but his primary focus now is teaching, particularly ATWP 101, ATWP 135 and ENGL 146 and ENGL 200A. Andrew brings energy, enthusiasm, and kindness to every class he teaches. His interests include Chaucer, the pedagogy of teaching writing and literature, contemporary fiction in English, and the Arsenal Football Club.
