I teach undergraduates and graduate students rhetoric and composition at Marquette
University, where my abiding interests in performance and pedagogy inform both my
historical scholarship and my contemporary writing research. 

I have worked on the Stanford Study of Writing since it began in 2001, and at
UT-Knoxville I led the Embodied Literacies Project with co-Principal Investigators Stacey
Pigg and Mary Jo Reiff. Currently, I am working with Lee Nickoson on a Mellon-supported
study of writing at Kenyon College, and I am involved in the ongoing development of the
Research Exchange (REx), an online resource for writing researchers. 

As a historian, my attention is usually focused on the British long eighteenth century,
and I am especially interested in the contribution public theater made to the formation
of modern rhetoric between 1656 and 1800. In 2009, I led an RSA Institute Workshop on
performance and the rhetorical tradition, and I am guest editing the inaugural issue of
CCC Online, which will feature new work on performance. 

My published scholarship appears in College Composition and Communication, College Forum,
Composition Studies, Stories of Mentoring, and the forthcoming collection, New Directions
in Writing Studies Research: Methods and Models for Rhetoric, Composition, and Literacy
edited by Lee Nickoson and Mary P. Sheridan.
