| Twenty years ago I was student teaching in English at East Hampton High School. Two graduate degrees, tenured faculty appointments at 3 schools, and a couple thousand students later, I find myself Director of English Teacher Education here at Stony Brook (since 2003). I’ve got an eclectic publication history, which reveals my interests in conversation analysis, ancient and contemporary rhetorical theory, the teaching of writing, and the place of grammar in the teaching of writing. It is my honor to be Editor of English Journal, the National Council of Teachers of English’s oldest and most widely-read journal. Established in 1912, the journal appears six times per year and currently enjoys a subscription base of over 22,000. My editorial term runs until 2013, and will include the 100th anniversary issue. |
