Charlie has worked with the Sheridan Center/Writing Center since 2014, where he first served as Writing Associate, Teaching Consultant (and as Head Teaching Consultant for Humanities and Social Sciences from 2018-2019), and Interdisciplinary Fellow in the Humanities. In 2018-2019, he was a Faculty Fellow at Wheaton College in Massachusetts. Before coming to Brown, he worked in both healthcare and at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. A first-generation college student, he holds a B.A. in history and religious studies from Saint Michael's College, an M.A. in history from both the University of Massachusetts Boston and Brown University, and a Ph.D. in history from Brown University.
Charlie is interested in composition and rhetoric pedagogies, active lecturing practices, and self-deterministic pedagogies. His teaching interests are in the pedagogy of writing, as well as the history of Paris, early and medieval Christian demonology, and the Crusades. His pedagogical research is on the use of authentic writing assignments and the use of writing as a mode of experiential learning. His historical research combines the histories of rhetoric, education, the body, and masculinities to consider how gendered discourses shaped the institutional identity of the nascent University of Paris in the 12th and 13th centuries.
