| Introduction | i've been teaching in higher ed since 1990. i still learn new things every semester. being a professor is like being a perpetual student, with the benefit that i define my readings & projects (& am not tested on either). i'm working on a project about young women and multimodal communication technologies. |
| Interests | learning new stuff. writing. my iPod. life with my family. |
| Favorite movies | the big eden | monsters, inc. | you can't take it with you | others i can't remember because i'm being asked |
| Favorite music | depends on what i'm feeling ... from patti griffin, neko case and aimee mann to new order, pet shop boys, and kate bush to itzhak perlman and glen gould | right now I'm liking REM's accelerate and Ocean Empire's diamond pressure |
| Favorite books | geez. too many. i reread the great gatsby this summer. i used to read it every year. i love victorian lit - authentic (dickens, collins) and contemporary (sarah waters is fantastic!). |
