Since childhood, I have been interested in how people learn to write. Since my days as an undergraduate, I have been interested in how teachers can help students learn to write. My research interests have evolved throughout my career, where I am now most interested in collaborative writing, audience, gender and written language, and professional development for graduate students. I love to make connections among disciplines, which means that I draw on many fields in my scholarship--rhetorical theory, composition theory, literary theory, linguistics, psychology, sociology, feminism, anthropology. Because my interest in collaborative writing is more than an abstraction for me, I have co-authored most of my 130 or so books, chapters, journal articles, and conference papers. Collaborating with graduate students is especially exciting for me.
