Katherine Ding
SLE Lecturer
BioKatherine Ding is a Lecturer for Structured Liberal Education. She received an MA in English Literature and Critical Theory from UC Irvine, and a PhD in English Literature from UC Berkeley. Prior to arriving at Stanford, she taught both critical and creative writing at Mount Tamalpais College (formerly the Prison University Project) in San Quentin, at Outer Coast College in Sikta, Alaska, and at UC Berkeley.
Braiding creative non-fiction with critical analysis, Katherine’s dissertation on the British Romantic poet William Blake explores what it means for knowledge to be fully embodied, and what the disembodiment of knowledge has cost us. Her current book project expands that inquiry—diving into fields as diverse as the neuroscience of interoception, exercise science, anthropology, and childhood development—to explore how the human organism observes, feels, and learns in relation to others in its embodied milieu.
In the classroom, Katherine is fascinated by the ever-shifting question of how we learn. Where do our ideas come from? What practices foster and facilitate good thinking? How might writing transform rather than simply express our thoughts and ideas? What is the relationship between reading, thinking, feeling, and writing? -

Juliana 'Julie' Dresvina
Overseas Studies - Oxford, Bing Overseas Studies
BioI am a medievalist and cultural historian; my work combines history, literary criticism, art history, and psychology. One of my current research projects explores how people use self-narratives — creative, devotional, or non-fiction — as a form of therapeutic practice. I am also interested in how human-shaped spaces of spiritual significance, along with religious material objects, function therapeutically: from devotional manuscripts and misericord carvings to rock sanctuaries, holy wells, and thermal springs.
I have published monographs with Oxford University Press and Brill, and I teach interdisciplinary courses on cultural history, literature, psychology, and art, as well as do study skills mentoring. -
Jeffrey Dymond
COLLEGE Lecturer
BioI am an intellectual and legal historian. I aim in my research to understand the historical development of important social, political, and legal institutions and doctrines, such as sovereignty, the state, and international law. My current book project - called "Civilization and the Law of Nations" - re-constructs the assumptions about human nature and human sociability that animated the work of the early modern lawyers whose contributions gave initial shape to European ideas of international legal order. I especially wish to understand why these particular beliefs about human nature came to be regarded as universally applicable at a time of greater global and inter-cultural exchange. My PhD project focused on the reception of ancient Roman political and legal ideas and their role in shaping the modern state.
Before coming to Stanford, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the History Department at the University of Zürich, where I worked on a project tracing the reception of ancient Roman legal and political ideas across different points in European history. I earned my PhD in History in 2021 at the University of California, Los Angeles. -
