My main focus is on the teaching of writing. I'm a composition/rhetoric specialist with a strong interest in adopting technology in responsible ways. I'm always guided in my decision-making by the point Cindy Selfe made about the digital divide-- I won't roll out new tech in the classroom if I'm not convinced that all students can easily access and use that technology. My research agenda is driven by my desire to make conversations about race in English classrooms more effective. I am motivated by the desire to continually improve my pedagogy. My approach to this research is heavily sociological. I think Firefly is the best thing that I've ever seen on tv. (I've shown excerpts of "Out of Gas" in creative nonfiction classes-- does that count as technology in the classroom?)
