So, as you can clearly tell, I "took a break" from this teaching blog. Deliberately, you ask? Well, not quite... Though I'd like to think it was a conscious decision. I'm going to restart it, though, because I'm teaching several new courses this term and I want to have a place where I can keep …
Web 2.0 Teaching Roundtable
Happily, I'll also be presenting the results of my pedagogical experiments in EN/HU501 this term at the 2010 ASECS conference in Albuquerque! Last night, we explored the basics of the Omeka resources database, and virtually the entire class has taken a look; everyone seems interested in participating in this experiment by contributing to it, so …
Paper at ASECS
Just got the good news that my paper, “'Things without Head, or Tail, or Form, or Grace': The Hypercorporeality of Farce on the Early Eighteenth-Century Stage,” has been accepted for the 2010 American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies conference in Albuquerque! My work, particularly invested in theater overwhelmingly about the body and its metamorphoses, the theater …
Fall 2009 courses

As an introduction to college coursework, the course seeks to make analysis, close reading, and research a little more interesting; as an introduction …
A new term and…a clean desk?

Unfortunately, I've found myself spending a lot of time experimenting with new technologies, putting together research tutorials for posting to the web, and cleaning out my office, which is …
Busy, Busy, Busy!
Last week was busy, busy, busy. After returning from the American Society for Eighteenth-Century studies conference in Richmond, itself a whirlwind event, I found returning to classes a bit overwhelming. Peter Karapetkov, Dr. K, and Stephanie Szkutak graciously agreed to sit in for me in my classes, and I think everything worked out alright from …
American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies
This week I'm at the ASECS conference, giving a paper on Mary Toft and the strange fact of the pantomime/harlequinade that emerged from her fraud. I went to several fascinating panels, and one not-so-fascinating panel, met quite a few interesting people, re-connected with graduate school cronies, and generally made academic hay. Richmond has a very …
