MS. STEPHANY LYMAN

Retained Instructor
BA, Emory University, 1975
MA, LSU, 1980

Stephany Lyman has taught in the Department of English since 1981, when she accepted a short-term instructorship at the University of New Orleans. The diversity and intensity of the students and the richness of New Orleans’ culture never released their hold, and a temporary appointment became a lifelong engagement. Since then, she has taught every level of composition as well as courses in poetry, drama, and fiction. The recipient of two teaching awards, she credits her students with kindling her enthusiasm and deepening her passion for the profession.
As an undergraduate at Emory University, she earned several awards for poetry, and her graduate studies focused on James Joyce’s Ulysses (James Joyce Quarterly 20.2, 1983—193-200). Over the years, her academic and creative interests have included organizing city-wide poetry readings, coordinating a reading program in the public schools, creating a writing project for women prisoners, and exhibiting her artwork at the New Orleans Museum of Art and the Contemporary Arts Center. She has also taught in and directed the UNO-Costa Rica program.
Lyman has served on a variety of department and college committees.  As Faculty Adviser for the student Gay and Lesbian Alliance, she helped draft the university policy on harassment and discrimination. A current member of the UNO Faculty Senate, she is excited to represent students and colleagues as the university rebuilds in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Her outside interests have included riding and training horses, playing saxophone (badly), teaching swimming to disabled children and babies, sculpting, and writing an annual holiday poem—come hell or high water.
