English language; Linguistics; Stylistics
Ina grew up in Potchefstroom, a university town in South Africa, where she completed
her MA in English at the PU for CHE (founded on 29 November 1869, in 1994 renamed the North-West University). Her doctoral thesis in Stylistics was supervised by Geoffrey Leech, Lancaster University.
She taught for several years at UNISA where she took part in the formation of a new
Department of Theory of Literature out of the Department of Linguistics, after which she started teaching courses at UBC in the Department of English language and literatures on the structure of Modern English (including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and discourse), the early and later history of English, grammar and usage, stylistics, sociolinguistics and academic and technical writing. Her teaching experience further includes teaching both language and literature as a sessional lecturer at St. Mark’s College and other BC tertiary institutions.
Her research interests are the analysis and interpretation of literary and non-literary
texts across various eras and styles, with an abiding interest in the poetry of Gerard
Manley Hopkins.
The conviction that studying the language of any literary text is essential for reading and understanding a poem, narrative or drama informs all of Ina’s teaching. Similarly, she regards studying and describing the language use of any author as crucial for sustaining claims about an author’s style, the characteristics of a particular era or a literary trend.
She strives to guide students towards appreciating how much there is to gain from
learning about language and stylistics both for those who are primarily interested in
studying and teaching English language and linguistics and for those who are pursuing the study of literature.

I was born in Vancouver and raised in South Vancouver and Richmond. My Mom and Dad both passed in the last few years, but I have four siblings, two of whom are local. I have numerous relatives all throughout the Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley. Though raised in a large and loving Mennonite family, I was fascinated by a course on Christianity I took with Fr. James Roberts at Langara and decided to continue my studies at St. Michael’s College, the Catholic college at the University of Toronto. From there my interest in Judaism and Christianity continued to grow and I completed my studies at McMaster University, with stops at Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen and University of Haifa.
After I received my PhD, I began to teach at several institutions in Winnipeg but spent most of my time teaching at the University of Winnipeg. While in Winnipeg, I also started a crisis line at Salvation Army and worked as a crisis counsellor at Klinic Community Health Centre. In Winnipeg, my wife Tabitha and I entered the Catholic Church at St. Ignatius Church and soon after we moved to the Twin Cities of Minnesota where I began teaching biblical studies at University of St. Thomas. I taught at UST for twenty wonderful years, rising in the ranks to Full Professor and Director of the MA in Theology program at St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity.
I came home to Vancouver to direct the Centre for Christian Engagement at St. Mark’s College at UBC in 2021.
My wife Tabitha is trained in public health and is completed her MA in Theology at St. Mark’s. My oldest son Jacob teaches English in Japan and has lived there for ten years becoming fluent in Japanese. My youngest son Sam currently lives in Vancouver, where he moved after completing an MA in Japanese religion at McMaster University, and he now directs the marketing division for a tech startup in Vancouver.
Apart from my academic pursuits, which I continue to love, I love dogs, especially Emerald, our four-year-old German Shepherd mix, and our late beloved German Shepherd Hunter, who lived to thirteen years old. I also love to garden, especially vegetables and fruit, and love to can what I grow. I love reading novels, including detective and fantasy novels, excellent TV shows (The Americans, The Sopranos, Flea Bag, Catastrophe, Better Call Saul) and foreign films, and the Vancouver Canucks and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
I am excited to be back home after thirty-nine years living across North America and to teach the students at St. Mark’s College all that I have learned in my study of the Bible, early Christianity, and Judaism.
