Research Interests

Jason is currently working on two articles, one on Schiller’s philosophical model of "aesthetic education" and Goethe’s literary response to that model, and another in which he offers a Lacanian reading of Hofmannsthal’s The Age of Innocence.

In addition, Jason is revising his dissertation for publication. On a more personal note, Jason is a big fan of the beach and wide-open spaces, and he loves tinkering with his classic Triumph motorcycle in his free time.
