Doug Rose taught in the English/Humanities Department at SUNY Canton for 28 years, retiring in 2010. He occasionally assigned selected chapters and passages from Joyce's Ulysses to his literature students. Since then, he has continued to reread, study, and discuss the novel with colleagues and friends.   

He previously offered "Poetry of the Great War" for SOAR in Fall 2012. He continues to research 20th century wars and has written a series of poems about World War II.

Doug's lifelong interest in comic books inspired him to create and teach the popular course “Comic Books as Literature” at SUNY Canton from 2001-2008. 

A favorite subject of Doug's has been the iconic clash between the Earp brothers and the Clanton gang in Tombstone, Arizona Territory.
