Research/Scholarship

My major research projects have included work on nineteenth-century high schools, rhetoric instruction and school books; the rhetoric and language politics in closed captioning; peer and faculty mentoring of graduate students; and nineteenth-century literature and book culture. Within the field of rhetoric and composition, my research has been published in Kairos, Currents in Electronic Literacy, and JAC, and I have a co-authored chapter forthcoming in a collection on Economies of Writing (Eds. Horner, Nordquist, and Ryan). I have also published outside of rhetoric and composition journals, including a prize-winning essay for Technology in Student Affairs and forthcoming chapters in books on mentoring (with Beth Boehm) and on Lydia Sigourney.  View abstracts and citation details about these publications here (including links to online content), or learn more about my dissertation project here.
