I'm a graduate student in English at Texas Tech University, working on a Ph.D. in eighteenth century British fiction. Currently I am teaching 1301 in the computer-based classroom, which is a great opportunity and very challenging. We are using WebBoard to hold class discussions and to participate in the writing process with each other.
Composition is a collaborative effort, and student interaction is very important.
In my field of study, I'm very fond of Restoration drama and the satire of Alexander Pope, Henry Fielding, Jonathan Swift, and Daniel Defoe. My research involves a feminist approach to the novels of Maria Edgeworth.
