I work in the fields of rhetoric and composition, postmodern fiction, and film studies. In the area of rhetoric and composition, my work focuses on pedagogical issues; in postmodern fiction, I deal mostly with issues of style and form. My research in film deals primarily with genre studies and queer theory. I regularly teach courses in all three areas.
Selected Publications
My work has appeared in the following publications: Quarterly Review of Film and Video, Film-Philosophy Quarterly, Popular Culture in Libraries, The Encyclopedia of Novels into Film, and CEA Forum. I have an article in the book The Geographical Imagination of Annie Proulx: Rethinking Regionalism (edited by Alex Hunt), and I wrote the Instructor’s Manual for The Shape of Reason, 3rd edition.
