ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Dr. Barrineau’s teaching focuses on making her classes more learner- and less teacher-centered.
Though she sometimes lectures, she emphasizes individual discovery and accountability, collaborative learning, and problem solving, including the revision process. She teaches all three undergraduate composition courses, Introduction to Literature, Major American Authors, the American Novel, Literary Analysis, and undergraduate senior seminars on late-19th-century American literature and American Realism, as well as graduate courses on various topics in American literature.
Dr. Barrineau’s research centers on late-nineteenth-century American realism, particularly the work of Theodore Dreiser. In 1996 she published Theodore Dreiser's "Ev'ry Month," a collection of magazine journalism. Other publications include bibliographic essays on Brander Matthews and Caroline Chesebro', explanatory notes to the Oxford editions of Tess of the D'Urbervilles
and The Return of the Native; book reviews; and critical articles on Dreiser. Currently she is working on an influence/intertextuality study of Dreiser's novels and Stephen Millhauser's Martin Dressler, winner of the 1997 Pulitzer Prize for literature, and serving as the book review editor for Dreiser Studies and as an editorial board member of Effective Teaching, the Carolina Colloquy's online journal.
