BIOGRAPHY

John Kinkade joined Centre’s faculty in 2006.

COURSES TAUGHT

Kinkade is a highly regarded teacher who draws out the best in his students. His courses are rigorous, but his uniquely engaging style keeps students wanting to reach his high standards. Their appreciation for improved writing skills is especially noteworthy, as is their newfound (or rediscovered) love of the humanities.

Kinkade has had multiple presentations and publications, and his most recent article, “Sympathetic Education in Anne of Green Gables,” appears in the Kentucky Philological Review.

AWARDS

In 2012 he received a Kirk Award for Excellence in Teaching. In 2010, he was named a Centre Scholar.
