- Full Bio
As an assistant professor of English at Marquette University, I teach undergraduate and graduate students rhetoric and composition. My abiding interests in performance and pedagogy inform both my writing research and my historical scholarship. I have been a researcher with the Stanford Study of Writing since it began in 2001, and at UTK I co-led the Embodied Literacies Project. I am also the co-founder and co-editor of the Research Exchange, an online database for writing researchers.
As a historian, my attention is usually focused on the British long eighteenth century, especially the contribution public theater made to the formation of modern rhetoric between 1656 and 1800. Recently, I led an RSA Institute Workshop on performance and the rhetorical tradition, and I look forward to future activities in this lively subfield of rhetorical studies.
My published work appears in College Composition and Communication, College Forum, Composition Studies, and Stories of Mentoring as well as the forthcoming collection New Directions in Writing Studies Research: Methods and Models for Rhetoric, Composition, and Literacy. I am also guest editing the premiere issue of CCC Online, which will be devoted to performance and published in Fall 2011.
