Welcome to English 515!

So that we can get to know each other a little better, please post a reply to this message in which you

  • describe where you are from
  • give your course of study and year in the undergraduate program
  • talk about your areas of interest and career goals
  • tell what you would like to get out of this course
  • share at least one thing personal about yourself (a hobby, your favorite sport, a favorite activity, etc.)

I'll start. I've lived in West Lafayette since 2000, when I first came to Purdue. I earned my PhD from the University of Southern California in "Rhetoric, Linguistics, and Literature." I was promoted to full professor here at Purdue in 2006. My areas of specialization include professional writing, rhetorical theory, digital media, print publishing, and film. In 2002 I founded Parlor Press, an independent scholarly press. I'm also involved with Purdue's Entrepreneurial Leadership Academy, a program of the Burton Morgan Center in Discovery Park.

My favorite sports are golf, baseball, and racquetball, but I spend most of my free time playing with new gadgets, including my twins, Meagan and Matt.
