EDUCATION:
Ph.D., English and American Literature, New York University, 1997
A.B., Harvard, 1986
INTERESTS: rhetoric & composition, theories of teaching and learning, American science fiction
2006 marks my fifteenth year directing writing programs, including previous positions at New York University, Princeton, and Johns Hopkins. Much of my scholarship in composition and rhetoric has focused on the link between writing and intellectual development; my recent work in the field investigates academic freedom and teaching conditions of non-tenured faculty (including graduate student teachers). My current research in science fiction examines new configurations of American feminism since the retrenchment of the 1980s, including attention to Patricia Anthony, Octavia Butler, William Gibson, and Maureen McHugh.
