Professor of English
I’ve always been interested in the process of writing and the ways that people talk about writing. So, I ended up studying writing center conferences and editor-writer sessions. I also became a practicing editor, and I am a better teacher for it I think. I have started on a new book, tentatively titled Writing Talk across Time. It reports longitudinal study (corpus-driven and discourse analysis) of the talk in a writing center at two times: 2001 and 2017. I’m finishing up an article (with Isabelle Thompson) of what I call “spoken written-language” (SWL)—the intermediary language that writing center tutors and student writers produce as they formulate discourse intended for possible use in student writers’ papers.
