Q&A With BURNES RAY

(interview me)
BURNES RAY
English Professor, Georgia State University
Location: durham, NC United States
Joined: Jun 27th, 2013
About   (request update)
Essentially what I am most proud of is my ability to go from being the most underrated and under-estimated student to being a trusted and respected student/instructor who helps faculty members and students alike to realize their academic goals.
Current Whereabouts:
My current research involves the thematic connections between Eastern Philosophy and Late Romantic/Gothic Literature. Without such connections, films and novels such as Harry Potter or The Ring would be impossible.
Life & Professional Aspirations:
My goal for 2013-2015 is to complete my doctorate in Literature, while aiding college students in their academic clarity. No clarity, no purpose, no results.

Georgia St Univ class of 2014
Undergrad Major: English
Claim To Fame:
As a child I was consistently ranked the worst student in the entire county with regard to reading comprehension. Now I am fourth year doctoral candidate in Romantic Literature and Composition.
