He is penning his third book, and his scholarly work has taken him from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Kyoto, Japan, to research and present his findings.<\/p>\n<p>The title has also inspired Jones to carry on the legacy of colleagues who inspired countless OHIO students over the years. Specializing in Edgar Allan Poe, Jones uses the famous author as a means of encouraging students to read and learn new things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m glad I can make people excited about American literature and get them to read,\u201d Jones says. \u201cI\u2019m in touch with a lot of former students who tell me they still think of my classes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"Button\" href=\"https:\/\/ohiofoundationreport.org\/fiscal-2018#OHIOAcademics\">Home<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the heart of Ohio University is love\u2014for this singular place, for knowledge and wisdom, and for the people who ignite a thirst for such.
