[Section_Field3] => Biography
[Section_Value3] => <p>Alison (Ganze) Langdon hails originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. She earned Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees in English from Arizona State University and a PhD in medieval literature from the University of Oregon. Before coming to WKU in 2007, she held a position as Assistant Professor of English at Valparaiso University in Indiana. She is a member of the Medieval Academy, the New Chaucer Society, the Society of Medieval Feminist Scholars, and the Medieval Association of the Midwest, serving for the latter as a member of the Executive Council and as Convener of Conferences. In 2014 she was appointed co-editor of <em>Enarratio</em>, a journal of medieval studies. In addition to teaching at WKU she also serves as undergraduate literature advisor and as the managing editor of <em>The Ashen Egg,</em> the English department’s annual journal of analytical essays on literature, rhetoric, linguistics, film, and popular culture, which she founded in 2012.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><br /></span></p>
[Section_Field4] => Teaching Philosophy
[Section_Value4] => <p>Dr. Langdon’s teaching encompasses a wide range, from general education courses to specialized seminars in medieval literature. Her goals as a teacher of English are fourfold: to cultivate students’ awareness of the power and beauty of language, to develop their intellectual awareness of being a part of the human experience while recognizing the diversity of that experience, to help them develop critical thinking skills and the ability to express their ideas clearly and effectively, and to foster independent learning. In 2015 Dr. Langdon was the recipient of the Potter College and Western Kentucky University teaching awards.</p>

[Section_Field1] => Administrative Duties
[Section_Value1] => <p>I came to the the Potter College of Arts & Letters' Dean's office part-time in 2009 and full-time in 2010. The job of the Dean's office staff is to help faculty, staff, and students do their work with as little interference as possible. My primary duties involve: fostering research and creative activity within the college; securing outside funding through grants and fellowships; interdisciplinary and inter-college outreach and coordination; outreach to local K-12 schools and coordinating teacher education; academic program assessment, and workforce development as it relates to academic programming. I also take seriously the mission of thinking of ways to promote the interests of the college across the campus and in the community. That could involve activities as mundane as helping shepherd college curriculum through the University, to meeting with folks in the community to get feedback on our programs, to trying out new ways of showcasing the interesting, creative, and fun faculty we have in Potter College.</p>
[Section_Field2] => Research Interests
[Section_Value2] => <p>My original scholarly interest was the colonial American Atlantic World, focusing on British colonial North America and its connections with Latin America. The University of Georgia Press published my first monograph, <em>Atlantic Loyalties: Americans in Spanish West Florida, 1785-1810</em>. My current research focuses on food and drink, most specifically in the area of alcohol consumption. I recently published several encyclopedia entries in Sage Publications' series entitled <em>Alcohol: Social, Cultural, and Historical Perspectives. </em> My chapters "Alcohol Production, 1850 – 1950,” in <em>A Cultural History of Alcohol, Volume 5: Industry, Empire, and War (1850-1950)</em>, edited by Deborah Toner, and “Commerce, Business, and Trade” in <em>A Cultural History of Alcohol, Volume 3: The Early Modern World (1500-1750)</em>, edited by Ann Tlusty are forthcoming from Bloomsbury Press in 2018. Prufrock Press recently published my co-authored <em>Teaching Social Studies Through Inquiry</em>, and I have two more volumes under contract with them. In August 2019 I will submit a manuscript to Indiana University Press entitled <em>Prohibition</em>.</p>
[Section_Field3] => Teaching Interests
[Section_Value3] => <p>I mainly teach HIST 463: The Atlantic World and HIST 341: The History of Alcohol. I believe that students should be challenged to think about history in new ways, that they should think about how history is packaged, sold, and “used” in the public space, and the ways that a knowledge of history can help them better understand the world around us. If my classes don't get students to ask questions about their assumptions about the world in which they live and their social and cultural viewpoints then I'm not doing my job. I lecture, but we also spend a great deal of time discussing readings, concepts, and problems. I have used video games to teach Western Civ and brewed beer in the History of Alcohol, and hope that my classes are as interesting and instructive for my students as they are for me.</p>
