I teach undergraduate courses in writing and graduate courses in composition-rhetoric at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. From 2007-2011, I directed the University Writing Program, which includes First Year Writing, Junior Year Writing, and the Writing Center. My research
interests include histories of rhetoric, theories of argument, and pedagogies of writing. My first book, City
of Rhetoric:
Revitalizing the Public Sphere in Metropolitan America, was published by SUNY Press in 2008; my second, From Form to Meaning: Freshman Composition and the Long Sixties, 1957-1974, by the University of Pittsburgh Press in 2011.
Check out my blog on UMass Amherst's "Common Read" (now in its 2nd year)!
And see the syllabus for my Spring 2012 graduate course: English 891JT.
