Rhetoric 1101 Instructors

Pia K. Jakobsson

Position at UT Dallas: Ph.D. candidate, History of Ideas

College Alma Mater: Stockholm University, Sweden

Major in College: English Literature

Graduate Degree: M.A. in Humanities

Favorite thing about teaching Rhetoric 1101: The things I learn from my students.

The biggest lesson I learned as a freshman: Being smart is not enough — you do have to study, too.

My favorite thing about UT Dallas: The library staff.

My hobbies: Photography, cultural anthropology, cultural history and life.

One book I think everyone should read is: Usually it’s whatever I am reading this week. Currently it’s The Coffee House: A Cultural History by Markman Ellis, which is about early modern Europe.

Something that people may not know about me: I am one of the most befuddled and addle-pated smart people I know.
