Welcome to my faculty website.  Here, you'll find information about my courses, including lists of online resources that have are authoritative on a variety of topics.  I have a series of ongoing projects that deal with 19th Century British literature and innovations in technology. If interested, you may follow me on a variety of social networking sites, including Twitter or Zotero, a free online bibliographic site that helps to collect, manage and cite a variety of research sources (both online and print). My library of research is listed here. To flip through a list of my publications, see my curriculum vitae. Of late, I have been heavily engaged in educational technology and its relationship with research and learning, i.e., a Digital Humanist. To read about a day in the life of Digital Humanists, see the blog project by University of Alberta, Canada.

Because of the drastic cuts to our budget this year, faculty have been asked to take 9 furlough days each semester.  Of course, this affects my schedule, class sessions and office hours. I will not be allowed to answer/return phone calls, answer emails or even sit in my office on these days. See the calendar below to help you find me. Please also read this letter [pdf] and contact your state legislators about this crisis.
