About

Richard Badenhausen arrived at Westminster College in 2001 to direct and teach in the Honors program. Before coming to Westminster, he taught for eleven years at Marshall University. Badenhausen directed the Honors program at that institution for four years and has been team-teaching in Honors since 1993.

He has published a dozen essays on T. S. Eliot, World War I Literature, and other topics that have appeared in journals like College Literature, Papers on Language and Literature, South Atlantic Review, Studies in Short Fiction, Style, and Twentieth Century Literature, among others. Recent work includes an essay on Eliot's female voices in Gender, Desire, and Sexuality in T. S. Eliot (Cambridge University Press, 2004) and a book-length study in 2004 entitled T. S. Eliot and the Art of Collaboration, also from Cambridge. He likes to ski, hike, and root for the New York Mets. Click here for his vita.
