David Emery a recent Carleton alumnus with a BA Honours in English credits Professor Kevin Gildea with changing his perception of the world. It was through Gildea’s first-year 20th century literature course, that Emery, who had not yet declared a major, set his sights on English.
“Professor Gildea passionately introduced ideas, philosophies and concepts in his analyses of the literature that acted as a revelation of sorts,” said Emery. Through his studies, Emery thrived on what he describes as an intellectually stimulating environment.
While he plans to take some time off, he is considering a Masters in Canadian literature at McGill University.
