Welcome, and thank you for stopping by my website.
I’m Kristina Chew, a Classics professor; mother of a 12-year-old son, Charlie, who’s on the moderate to severe end of the autism spectrum; a translator and teacher of Latin and ancient Greek; a blogger, formerly at My Son Has Autism/Autismland (2006-2008), Autism Vox (2006-08) and Change.org (2008-09); happily married to cultural historian James T. Fisher. I’m currently writing a book about life on the long road with Charlie.
Please take a look around here: We Go With Him is my blog; you’ll find links to my previous online writing on many topics about autism and disability here; the Ars section contains suggestions about the “art” of teaching a child like Charlie how to ride a bike, play the piano, and more. You can find me on Twitter and Facebook and email me at kc@kristinachew.com.
I’m an Associate Professor of Classics at Saint Peter’s College in Jersey City; I’m also the Coordinator of Special Scholarships & Fellowships.
My translation of the ancient Roman poet Virgil’s poem, Georgics, was published in 2002 by the Hackett Publishing Company.
On the Irish Waterfront: The Crusader, the Movie, and the Soul of the Port of New York is my husband James T. Fisher’s new book, published by Cornell University Press in September 2009. Go here for a list of Jim’s speaking engagements.
