Robert-Louis
Abrahamson, Ph.D.
Robert-Louis Abrahamson, Professor
of English for the University of Maryland's European Division,
has established an international reputation for his stimulating
and unconventional teaching methods. He brings these methods to
groups outside the university in his lectures, seminars and workshops,
which are noted for his witty and friendly style of delivery and
for the way he connects to his audience as fellow human beings,
all sharing common concerns and desires.
Dr. Abrahamson is, above all else, a communicator,
concerned with passing on to others his own delight in literature,
curiosity about the world around and within us, and concern
for intellectual, emotional and spiritual values. His chief
aim is to encourage others to break away from narrow, rigid
attitudes and experiment playfully with new and traditional
uses of imagination and language.
He offers a variety of lectures and seminars
on the Bible as Literature as well as on specific British and
American writers such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Robert Burns,
Charles Dickens, Emily Dickinson and Thoreau. His lectures and
workshops on the imagination are designed to open our eyes to
world around us to enhance our originality and creativity. His
lectures and workshops on business communications, drawing upon
many years of experience as a consultant to several international
companies, do not dictate the "right" way to produce
a business document but rather encourage flexibility, awareness
and commonsense.
