#1 A.W. Strouse is a poet and a medievalist. He holds a Ph.D. from the City University of New York (CUNY) and teaches medieval literature at CUNY and the New School.

Strouse’s works include My Gay Middle Ages (punctum books, 2015), Thebes (Jerk Poet, 2015), and Retractions and Revelations (Jerk Poet, 2014). He is also the author of many essays and peer-reviewed articles.

Ph.D., English, CUNY Graduate Center, 2017
Dissertation: “Literary Theories of the Foreskin”

Another Ph.D. desperate for tenure track position. No way Strouse. Gay is out, trans-gendered is in. And no whites with so many "qualified" ebony candidates.

#4 Trying to help students change their speech patterns is bad, Strouse says. Naw, that ain't bad but having dimwitted, dipwad perfessers is bad.

#6 The irony is that this will further isolate speakers of Ebonics. They will have no luck at all speaking Ebonics in Asia, mixed results in Europe and South America, and anywhere else people study either British or American English. They will be stuck in their Democratic strongholds. Oh, maybe that's the plan ...

#7 You know, now that I thought about it - it may be just a (self-righteous & childish) temper tantrum because he was assigned to teach English to ghetto candidates.
