Before joining the Honors College full time I taught Danish language and Scandinavian literature in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at Washington State University from 1987-2001. As a representative of the Danish government\u2019s program of Danish Lecturers Abroad during this period (see my article on the Danish Lecturers Program<\/a>), I arranged for the visits to WSU of numerous Scandinavian dignitaries including authors Svend \u00c5ge Madsen, Ib Michael, Benny Andersen, Klaus Rifbjerg, and Carsten Jensen, in addition to several scholars of Scandinavian studies.<\/p>\n
