Background

I've been teaching writing for the past 25 years. I've always incorporated technology into my teachiing. In addition, I am a longtime comic book collector and recently have begun to examine comic books as a tool of scholarly inquiry.  I also am very interested in issues of academic leadership after having spent a number of years serving as an English department chair.
