Writing News Blog
This is a collection of select blogs that I wrote for the SNL Writing News blog while I was a member of the resident faculty at DePaul University's School for New Learning. The blogs were created to support faculty in teaching writing in the disciplines to students in the interdisciplinary college. As a member of the writing program, I regularly contributed to the blog. I selected topics that were important to me as they helped to exemplify and evolve my teaching philosophy and practice. You can view them "live" by clicking the links in the headers of the document.
