I earned a BA degree in English and Romanian in 1992 (with the paper Some Problems of the Postmodern World in Kurt Vonnegut's Fiction), as well as a PhD in English language and literature in 2002 (with the thesis The Comic Mode in Evelyn Waugh’s Fiction), both at the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, Iași, Romania. I have been with the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures of the Faculty of Letters, UAIC, since 1996, and consequently have almost twenty years of experience in teaching to Romanian university students various subjects related to the English language, as well as in teaching Romanian as a foreign language to international students.
