Faculty Profile
Dr. Jeffrey Cordell
Departments: English
Jeffrey Cordell, assistant professor of English at Alma College, uses literature to visit other worlds. While the possibility of multiple worlds and universes has always fascinated him, initially he planned to access these worlds in a very different way, he says.
“I really wanted to be a physicist,” he says. “Though it seems like a huge jump, science and English actually have much more in common than people might think because both allow you to observe detail in a deeper way.”
