He joined Simon Fraser University in 1992 and teaches French Literature courses across various levels, primarily focusing on poetry, short stories, and novels from the late 19th and 20th centuries. His research lies at the intersection of history and literature, especially concerning poetry and literary correspondence, particularly during the interwar period.
