I am a Ph.D. in English (B.A. in Math), with a specialization in early American literature and culture. I often teach literature courses and writing courses. I also direct the teaching & learning center at St. Edward's, where I work with faculty from all of our colleges to support their teaching. I work closely with our instructional designers to help faculty stay abreast of new developments in teaching with technology. And of course, to do so, I have to try to stay abreast of them myself. In my own courses, I use digital resources (newly digitized archives are especially amazing), online tools for discussion and interaction, and I take advantage of online spaces for making student writing public.
