Area of Expertise

I received my Bachelors in Exercise Science, Masters in Exercise Physiology, and I am currently earning my Doctorate in Teaching and ��ý with an emphasis in Science Education from Illinois State University. I primarily identify as a Pediatric Exercise Physiologist and study physical activity and fitness during childhood and adolescence. I currently live in Mahomet with my wife Valerie, I am the father of three boys, Asher, Reagan and Charlie. I was initially interested in exercise science due to my involvement in sports such as wrestling and Judo. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, rock-climbing, weightlifting and painting tabletop miniatures.

Miriam L. Wallace is Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Illinois-Springfield, and Professor of English. She is a graduate of Swarthmore College (BA) and the University of California, Santa Cruz (MA/PhD) in Literature. As a proud liberal arts graduate, she advocates for the value and impact of academic study, art making and performance, public presentations, and study abroadâ¿¿noting their impact on self-confidence, intellectual curiosity, and personal and professional growth.

She has written extensively on late eighteenth-century British writers who used fiction to advocate for political reformâ¿¿most notably in Revolutionary Subjects in the English â¿¿Jacobinâ¿¿ Novel (2009) (which was supported by an NEH College Teacher Fellowship). More recent work explores Romantic-era public speaking as depicted in satirical prints, literature, and popular cultureâ¿¿particularly by those formerly excluded from rhetorical training by virtue of class, sex, gender, race, educational level, or disabilities. She was Principle Investigator for an NEH Humanities Connections Planning Grant to build a new â¿¿concentrationâ¿¿ in Health, Culture and Societies from 2021-2022 with colleagues in Epidemiology, Anthropology, History, and Physiology/Medicine. She continues as co-editor of the â¿¿Transits: Literature, Thought, and Culture 1650-1850â¿¿ series with Bucknell University Press with Dr. Mona Narain. Since January 2023 she has been involved in organizing and speaking about academic freedom and the importance of public universities as equity engines, resisting efforts to diminish or limit humanistic exploration and voices. Dr. Wallace is Co-PI with Dr. Emily Todd of an NEH Spotlight on Humanities grant on the humanities in an A.I. world for 2024-2025.
