If you are a current or prospective graduate student who is interested in working with me, please email me at fbarter@uoregon.edu. For prospective students, I may not be able to respond to all inquiries depending on the timing of the request and the information sought. For current graduate students, please reach out with a brief description of your research interests and/or schedule an office hours appointment with me.
For undergraduate students interested in working with me on an honors thesis or other research project, please email me at fbarter@uoregon.edu with a brief description of your proposed project. I have served as a reader for recent honors thesis projects on legal studies, Black literature, and Native/Indigenous literature.
