My research interests are rooted in understanding the role of literacy in American nation-building and using rhetorical theory as a lens to understand race and racialization in the United States. I have just finished a book on Native American students’ writing from the first off-reservation boarding school located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Before coming to Holy Cross, I was a professor of English at Butte College in Northern California, I directed a research center for equity in higher education at the University of Southern California, and I was a visiting professor of writing at Michigan State University.
