My academic interests are diverse. My first love was theatre and the rhetoric of theatricality in Victorian Britain, but my work inside and outside the academy has allowed me to develop additional interests in creative nonfiction, feature writing, grantwriting, and nonprofit writing. In all my classes, I seek to help students develop the ability to adapt their style for different venues, situations, and audiences. And every semester I look for new and interesting ways to raise students' awareness of the power of words.
