General statement of scholarly plans for the next three to five years:

I plan to work in five areas: 1) publishing (and some editing of) magazine non-fiction and (hopefully) several books; 2) keeping current on Shakespeare scholarship; 3) developing new computer approaches to teaching writing, including classroom publication; 4) experimenting with teaching techniques for composition and SWS, particularly with regard to close textual study; and 5) broadening my scholarship and teaching interests (this year, Lib 100; next year....?).
