I’ve added a few more folks–and even found a few that I follow on Twitter as well.
I’ve also joined two more groups. Both the ones I’m most interested don’t have a very active discussion board so I’m thinking I may add a discussion topic here.
Hi,
I’m Scott Banville. I’m an associate professor at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, LA. I teach Victorian literature as well as literature in general in addition to a lot of composition and advanced writing–technical writing for the sciences in particular.
I serve as the Writing Program Administrator for the department as well as on other committees.
My current projects are thinking about how Tony Pastor’s traveling (and non-traveling) vaudeville company’s are a window into the development of American (popular) culture. My other project is Rhetorical Mapping: Oil, Land, and People in South Louisiana. It’s grown out of work with students in a couple of digital rhetoric courses. It attempts to use data from existing oral history projects to map internal migration in the Bayou Region of Louisiana, to archive and document the changes in recreational and subsistence activities, as well as other cultural and economic activities in the area.
I’ve know about HC for a while and thought the summer came would be a good way to boot the post-tenre blues.
Hi All,
Here’s my profile. Like many of us, I’ll probably add a few things between now and the deadline, especially the “about me” section.
And I’ll have to find a better head shot for the profile image than the one have right now.
