| Academic Biography | | Originally from Plainfield, New Jersey, Professor McKee has moved around North America. After seven years in northern California, one year in Cambridge, Mass, eight years at the University of Toronto, one
year at Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C., two years teaching at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh, she spent 5 years teaching at Arizona State University, in Tempe before moving back to northern California to UCD in 2000. Since 1989, she has spent much of her research time in Venice. Although she now much prefers to stay home with her stunning but highly-strung Long-haired German Shepherd, Django, and her adorable pug, Sophia Loren, her work on Mediterranean slavery now takes her to cities in Italy and France. |
