CAdler@Cornish.edu

Dr. Cori Adler has a B.A. from Wesleyan University in Interdisciplinary studies, an M.A. from the University of Colorado Creative Writing program, and a Ph.D. from the University of Washington in Literature/Cultural Studies.  Cori has published poetry, short stories, articles and creative non-fiction in the U.S. and Canada and one chapbook, The Toothed World. She has taught a wide range of courses at Cornish, including Integrated Studies, classes in literature and film and the editorial semester of Birds and Whistles, Cornish’s student-generated literary and arts magazine.  Cori also teaches at Antioch University Seattle and has taught previously in Colorado, Washington, Massachusetts and Greece.  Her classes study interactions between society, culture and creative expression. They heavily emphasize discussion, collaboration and writing (both creative and academic) and self-discovery. “It is my goal,” she says, “that each student should leave each of my classes with a heightened sense of how his or her art can contribute to making a better world.”
