About Rich Lowry

I am a professor in the English Department and the Film & Media Studies Program, between which I divide my time teaching courses on Film and Media Theory, The American 1950s, Interpreting Literature, Writing, American Humor, Mark Twain, and American literature.

I have written a book on Mark Twain, and another on Alexander Gardner's photographs of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. I also write on cultural theory, the history of photography, and of course literature.

Off campus I spend as much time as I can hiking and fishing; I'm also an enthusiastic if mediocre musician.
