After two insane years...

I've returned to this blog, Discourse Inferno. Quick synopsis: Since that last post two years ago, I have finished my dissertation, earned my PhD in English from the University of Hawaii, moved from Honolulu to Los Angeles, gone through the ninth circle of hell known as interviews at MLA, accepted a tenure track position at the University of La Verne, where I am Assistant Professor and Director of the Writing Program. This marks my second year here at La Verne, where I have taught classes, managed the Writing Program, revised assessment and placement, and spearheaded a common reading program called One Book, One University - all the while acculturating to my new job and environment on the edge of Los Angeles Co., teetering precariously into the edges of the Inland Empire. I have also presented once more at CCCC, at WPA, and participated in another AP Language reading in Lousville, KY. I have been very very busy this year. Will update more soon.
