Scholarly Interests

Research interests bring critical, feminist, and poststructural theories to bear on a range of overlapping interests: the construction of subjectivity; qualitative research methodology; the reading/writing/language theories of secondary English education; the reading practices of adult expert readers; and literacy practices in alternative sites, especially adult women's book clubs.

Courses Taught

I am an Affiliated Faculty Member in the Qualitative Research Program and in the Women's Studies Institute and work with both programs in addition to the Language Education Department. In addition to teaching formal courses, I frequently organize reading/study groups around particular books and authors so that graduate students and faculty can come together over difficult texts to help each other think.
