My sustaining research interest has been composing technologies. My recent work is interested in the intersection between writing technologies, institutional practices, empirical research practices and theories, and theories and practices of teaching writing. My interest in non-academic composing and writing (both as a researcher and as a teacher) fuel work-in-progress not yet reflected on my vita: a study of young girls' uses of synchronous communication technologies (such as instant messaging and chat programs); a study of the institutional responses to writing technologies by fourteen writing programs across the country; and writing about multimodality in American composition classrooms (including "Thinking about Multimodality: Why Integrate Digital Audio and Video Assignments into Writing Curricula"—co-authored with Gail Hawisher and Cynthia Selfe and "Playing Genders: The Gaming Literacies of One American Family.")
