Nathalie Ettzevoglou
I'm the course instructor! I'm currently a PhD student at UCONN working on my dissertation about the evolution of medicine from magic in XII-XV narrative texts. I received my BA from the University of Richmond and my MA from UNC at Chapel Hill. After a successful past semester with my class blog, I wanted to try a class wiki and so I hope that you will find this project useful and enlightening. Please feel free to ask me questions by emailing me at: nathalie.ettzevoglou@uconn.edu.

Joel Altiery

I am a junior here at the University of Connecticut majoring in Sociology. I'm a very easy going guy who loves to laugh, sports, and having a good time.

Shawn Mirmina

Hi everyone. I'm a sophomore at the University of Connecticut majoring in Human Development and Family Studies. I'm currently interning with Mansfield Youth Services and hope to become a high school guidance counselor after I graduate. I enjoy watching sports, especially football and baseball.


Michelle Jones

Hello everyone! I am a junior at Uconn and I just came back from Paris, therefore I am very excited to learn more about French culture and literature. Hopefully it will remind me of the places and people I visited while I was there. I enjoy all sports, shopping, and just hanging out with my friends. This is my first time creating a Wiki but hopefully not the last.

Kathleen Silva

Hi! I'm a junior here at Uconn majoring in history with a focus on pre-civil war United States. I love board games, sunshine, and traveling. I studied french literature through high school and can't wait to further my education with this class and this wiki!

Jamie Pryor

Hi I'm a junior at UCONN working on a major in English. I am working towards becoming a high school English teacher after I graduate and finish my certification. I am a bookworm and love to write which is one of the reasons I took this class (other than the fact it works towards my major). I love a lot of things but definitely near the top is just hanging out with my friends.


Holly Elliott

Hello! I'm currently a 6th semester accounting major at UConn, but I like to think that I rise above all of the nerdy accountant stereotypes. I love to do grandmother-ly things like quilting, antiquing, and crosswords - this is a source of many jokes among my friends. So maybe I don't rise above the nerdy stereotypes. I love anything that's older than me and I shop at thrift stores on a regular basis. I also really love music and bands that most people have never heard of. I kind of took this class on a whim on a friend's recommendation, but I think it will probably be my most enjoyable class this semester.

Addler Pluviose

Sak-pase! I am a native New Yorker of Haitian descent working towards an Economics degree at the University of Connecticut. I enjoy trying new foods, music, poetry, reading, and basketball to name a few. I visited France and found it to be a worthwhile experience.(though the Mona Lisa is pretty small).p.s. I’m on my 4th semester at UConn- this is the most interactive class by far-sad you are not here to join us.
