As a faculty in rhetoric and composition, I have a wide range of research interests, many of which are centered around either collaborative writing or gender and communication.  The major topics I have investigated include:

• Gender and Communication
  
• Computer Supported Collaborative Writing (particularly annotation technologies)
  
• Writing in the Disciplines (particularly engineering and literary analysis)
• Teamwork
  

 I have a textbook called Team Writing forthcoming from Bedford/St. Martins press.

Recent graduate classes I have taught include Research Methods in Rhetoric and Composition, Linguistic Theory and its Applications, and Human-Computer Interaction.  Beginning in Fall 2009 I will be the Director of Composition.
