Bedford/St. Martin CBW Critical Sourcebook
I recently finished work on an edited collection for the Bedford/St. Martin Critical Sourcebook series with Thomas Deans and Barbara Roswell. Writing and Community Engagement: A Critical Sourcebook will feature about twenty-five previously published articles and excerpts that explore the theory and practice of community-based writing. Similar to Learning the Language of Global Citizenship, this book will highlight the interactions between service-learning and community literacy, intercultural rhetoric, genre, assessment, and other closely related concerns by providing exemplary models of service-learning research and praxis in English Studies

HaiPhong Private University
While in Vietnam on a Fulbright TESOL teaching award in 2007, I helped initiate a service project for students at Haiphong Private University to teach English at an orphanage. Over 100 students organized games and lessons for K-6 grade students at the Haiphong Children’s Village. Below are links to the blog HPU students keep on the project as well as a PowerPoint I prepared for the Fulbright program in Vietnam reviewing my work.
