My scholarship includes articles on literature,
Faulkner, Morrison, Pinter, stream-of consciousness, psychoanalytic
theory, cultural studies, writing programs, business communications,
collaborative writing, and multicultural issues. My publications
appear in Mississippi Quarterly, The Faulkner
Journal, Literature and Psychology, The
Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts, Style, Issues
in Writing, The Journal of Business Communication, IEEE
Transactions on Professional Communication, and Computers
and the Humanities. My research applies Lacanian principles
of identity/subjectivity/agency, trauma theory, and cultural
studies to literary texts and composition studies. My current
manuscript, Bodies of Trauma: Race, Home, and Healing
in Toni Morrison's Novels, is an interdisciplinary study
of trauma in Morrison's novels.
