Take a look around, you'll find materials for courses I teach as well as some indications of my research interests (projects) and scholarly activities at the university (cv). In our undergraduate program, I most often teach English Studies and U.S. Literature to 1865, but I also enjoy teaching Bible as Literature, Great Books, and Shakespeare, as well as the occasional course in Environmental Literature and Hypertext Poetry & Fiction. I also teach in both our doctoral programs, in Literature, Cultural Theory, and Social Practice (seminars in early American literature, 19th c. American literature, Methods, and Historicist Theory & Criticism) and in Literacy, Rhetoric and Social Practice (Theories and Systems of Writing and Representation, Writing Technologies, and other courses).

Current assignments: For Fall 2009, I am teaching the graduate seminar in "The Nature and Relationship of Academic and Nonacademic Literacy," a pre-dissertation seminar in the LRSP program. I continue to serve as Coordinator of Graduate Studies.

Undergrad advisees, former students, etc.: Contact me via e-mail for an advising appointment, for letters of recommendations, and so on. I will be on campus most days, either in Satterfield Hall or in the Institute for Bibliography & Editing. Graduate Students should check the Contact page for my open office hours in the Fall. Dawn Lashua will make appointments for me this term.
