Dominic Ording received his Ph.D. from Michigan State University (2003), where he taught prior to coming to Northern. His dissertation, "The Difficulty of Intimacy: Gay Masculinities Before and After Stonewall," traces representations of masculinity from the Lost Generation through the Beat Generation, and through the years just before the advent of the HIV/AIDS health crisis. Dominic's teaching and research interests include American literature, cultural studies, gender studies, critical theory, and composition. His publications include articles about cultural representations of the Vietnam War era and the counterculture, Jack Kerouac, and the philosophy of education.
He also has M.A. degrees in Philosophy and TESOL, both from Michigan State. Dominic is extremely pleased to be back in Marquette, where he graduated from Marquette Senior High School and began his academic career at NMU.
