I maintain active research interests in graduate writing studies, early modern studies, literary theory, writing center administration, and writing program administration.

After serving for five years as faculty in the Princeton Writing Program and five years as the founding Director of the Writing Center at The Graduate Center, CUNY, I have formed a range of research interests in writing studies and graduate writing support. I’m currently working on a book about academic writing, tentatively titled Writing Smarter: An Academic's Guide to Building Knowledge Better. This book is for academics who find themselves feeling stuck and demoralized as they struggle to turn messy pages of early writing into brilliant works of scholarship. It offers a framework for understanding writing as a technology of thought, and it lays out concrete, practical methods for using this technology well.

In addition to this book project, I am the co-author of “Reframing Graduate Writing Support: Adopting a Process Oriented Mindset as Consultants,” under review by WLN: A Journal of Writing Center Scholarship. I am also leading my writing center staff in a study of longterm, high-frequency users of our center. We plan to publish our findings in 2025.

As an early modernist, my work focuses on dramatic literature and character theory. I am the author of Shakespeare and the Truth-Teller: Confronting the Cynic Ideal (Edinburgh 2019) and have published articles in Criticism and Modern Philology.
