About me

Introduction The Andersons are a family of three--Dana, the husband and dad; Talia, the wife and mother; and Ethan, their son. Dana is an Assistant Professor in the English department at Indiana University. His latest manuscript titled, "Identity's Strategy: Rhetorical Selves in Conversion," published by the University of South Carolina Press, is now on shelves! Check out the link to his book below under family links! Talia manages the Anderson home (sort-of). She enjoys paper crafts with stamping, reading, planning Disney vacations, and keeps busy doing volunteer work at church and at Ethan's school. Ethan is an adorable son. He loves to play legos, Nintendo, read, collect rocks, swim, play soccer, attend Cub Scouts, and his latest obsession is with turtles. They also have three cats--Chloe, Little Kitty and Cozy--each one with her own unique quirks!
