James McElroy

James Mc Elroy completed his earlier undergraduate and
graduate studies at Trinity College Dublin. Afterwards, he taught at
the Irish College of Journalism and the National University of Ireland.
After several years teaching (and with another Irish recession looming
on the horizon) Mc Elroy decided to leave Dublin and go to New York. In
New York he continued to teach -- Manhattan College, Marymount College,
Manhattanville, etc. -- while continuing his research on Irish
Literature. Next came a return to Dublin where Mc Elroy finished his
PhD at University College Dublin (the other UCD) under the watchful
gaze of A. Norman Jeffares and Seamus Deane. With PhD in hand, McElroy
made his way -- after a lot of this, that, and the other -- to UC Davis
where he has taught an assortment of courses including Nature &
Irish Literature, Management Communications, Legal Writing, Early
Victorian Literature, Technical Writing, Scientific Writing and
Journalism.
