An evolutionary physiologist with strong interests in ecology, she studies how animals adapt to their environment with particular emphasis on gas exchange and water balance in mosquitoes. Gray’s multinational background (she grew up in France) and interests (she works in sub-Saharan Africa) provide opportunities for expanding the curriculum.<\/p>\n Andreea Marinescu: Instructor of Spanish<\/strong><\/p>\n A native of Romania, Marinescu learned Spanish by watching sitcoms.\u00a0She went to the University of Michigan to study pharmacology but decided to get some formal training in Spanish.\u00a0She earned her B.A. in Spanish and cellular and molecular biology and is working toward her Ph.D. in Romance languages and literatures from the University of Michigan. Her dissertation,\u00a0“Dialoguing Across Catastrophes: Chilean Post-Coup and Post-Dictatorship Cultural Production,” brings together the work of avant-garde Chilean filmmaker Ra\u00fal Ruiz and that of Chilean poet and novelist Roberto Bola\u00f1o. Marinescu’s graduate studies in Spanish have included literature, the visual arts, and literary theory. As a graduate student, she taught Spanish language, literature, composition, and culture at all levels, as well as “The Art of the Film” for the screen arts and cultures department.<\/p>\n Richman comes to Colorado College from the University of Pennsylvania, where he received his Ph.D. in English literature in May 2009.

At Penn, he taught in the critical writing program and offered the courses “The Romantic Period,” “To Whom It May Concern: Epistolary Forms in Literature,” “Satire in the Long Eighteenth Century,” “The Art of Satire from Horace to Doonesbury,” and “Romance and Revolution: The Epistolary Tradition.”\u00a0His experience in printmaking and his interest in graphic arts create natural connections with the Cornerstone Interdisciplinary Arts Initiative and with the Press at CC.<\/p>\n Sanjaya Thakur: Assistant Professor of Classics<\/strong><\/p>\n Having been appointed as a Colorado College Riley Scholar-in-Residence for the 2008-09 academic year, Thakur moves into a tenure-track position in classics.
