Bernard is a PhD candidate and instructor in the English Department at Stony Brook University where he studies early modern literature. Before coming to Stony Brook, he received B.A. and M.A. degrees from Hofstra University. His dissertation, tentatively titled "Mammon and Commonwealth: The Poetics of Regulation from Spenser to Milton," explores the ways in which early modern literary texts represent economic regulation, a function often (but not always) performed by the state and thus inextricably linked to concepts of "commonwealth," "sovereignty," and "justice" in the period. His teaching interests include drama, short and long poetry, the novel, political philosophy, and rhetoric. He previously taught in Stony Brook's Writing Program, from which he earned an Advanced Certificate in Teaching Writing, and works as a Writing Consultant at Suffolk Community College.
