 Philip
J. Skerry received his B.A. from the University of Massachusetts in
1966, his M.A. from Western Reserve University in 1968, and his Ph.D.
from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1975. His did his dissertation
on the historical tragedies of Byron, and his major training was in
British Literature; however, he always had a secret love for movies
, and over the years he has switched his allegiance to cinema studies
(but he still loves Brit. Lit!). He indulges his passion for films
by teaching courses in the art of film, the films of Hitchcock, film
noir, screwball comedy, and Shakespeare on the screen. He has also
taken students to Hollywood to study the film industry and to the
Cannes film festival to experience international cinema. Dr. Skerry
has published numerous articles on both literature and film ( see
publications below) At present, he is working on a study of Hitchcock's
Psycho. |
