Research

I currently have two significant research projects. The first is a book, originally designed for teachers, about using the Holocaust in the teaching of writing. The second is a reader for first-year composition classes based a set of readings about American Studies.

I have used the Holocaust as subject in my writing courses for years. In 1999 I was part of group of teachers who offered a workshop before the Annual Convention of the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) in Atlanta. You can read more about that workshop here. You can read an annotated table of contents of my Holocaust book here.

The American Studies reader is a group project: my two co-editors are Sheila O'Brien and Walter Hesford. This book is under contract by Mayfield, which has recently been sold to McGraw-Hill.

Some examples of my work:

	"Transcending Classroom Boundaries: Constructing Internet 'Home Pages' for Writing Courses," Paper delivered at the Annual Convention of the Conference on College Composition and Communication, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, March 29, 1996.
	"Graphic Autobiography: Using Maus in a Composition Class," article that argues that Art Spiegelman's Maus would be a good choice as a book on which to base writing assignments.
