Frank Battaglia has finished his last academic year for our department. I wanted to know more aboutwhat brought Frank to this major, profession, and ultimately to the College of Staten Island and

working for CUNY. His reflections, as shared with me, appear below- in his own words. JD

Reflections from Frank Battaglia: English, CSI, and Retirement

I hadnt expected to go to college, but got a full-ride scholarship inengineering. I took Electrical Engineering because it offered the mostelectives. I did well, but decided I wanted to study human values, and didntlike that university. So I transferred, and ended up an English major at LaSalle; then an M.A. at Duke and, at 24, a Ph.D. from University of California,Davis.

I taught composition at Davis. Then, I was an assistant professor at theUniversity of Wisconsin, Madison. I taught undergraduate courses in

contemporary lit and graduate classes in Old English before coming to StatenIsland Community College in the heady years after CUNY had adopted OA,open admissions. Every NYC high school graduate could enroll; tuition wasstill free. Collective bargaining by CUNYs instructional staff became oneresource for building a public university.

The English department (SICC, then CSI) had informal recurring meetings foryears (e.g., the Orange Basement) about how to make OA work. One lesson Itook away: returning student writing by the next class wasimportant. Committing to that standard which Ive never fully met any

semester changed my teaching fewer dizzying highs or bottomless lows,but a palpable sense of making a difference.

My major project for retirement is to finish the book BEOWULFThe War GodGoes to Church that Ive been at a long time. Im continuing to makepresentations or get things in print which advance the research agenda itspart of. Two papers this year have proposed that patriliny was consolidatedfor English speakers in the formation of the kingdom of East Anglia during thefirst half of the sixth century: Wrist clasps, scutiform pendants, and patrilinya hypothesis, at Gender and Medieval Studies 2014,University of

Winchester, UK, January; and Early Anglo-Saxon elite female jewellery apatrilineal marker? at Womanhood in Anglo-Saxon England conference,Centre for Anglo-Saxon Studies, University of Manchester, UK, April.

I will miss regular connection with the Colleges English department, a grouptrying to truly do the work we get paid for, as we struggle together for abetter world. ---Frank Battaglia
