I earned my MA and PhD at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in English (concentration in Rhetoric and Composition) and now I am Director of Composition at Cal. State Stanislaus . I've been teaching rhetoric and writing for about 15 years.

My classes generally include undergraduate composition and graduate classes in rhetoric and/or teaching composition. I'm interested in teaching courses that explore rhetoric and issues of identity: gender, race/ethnicity, class,especially online. I also teach non-western rhetoric and am developing several courses in digital rhetoric and new media; I feel it is especially important to teach graduate students, future teachers, about these topics.

My research interests include transnational literacies, comparative (and contrastive) rhetoric, new/digital media, online communities, and identity studies. My past research has been on Multiple Intelligence theory and on the Chinese educational system.

Most recently I've been studying the institutionalization of new media in the Netherlands, particularly the involvement of women, and have started a series of interviews and site visits to gather material. If you visit my research blog and look at all the posts tagged book project, you should get a pretty clear picture.
