My primary research interests focus on and grow out of the literary responses of adolescents. Theoretically, I am interested in current literary theories (Reader response, poststructuralism) and theories of learning (constructivism) and literacy as ways into understanding the nature and development of literary responses, language and learning. This has led to research in the oral and written responses of adolescsents, the effects of journal writing on the shaping and development of understanding and appreciation. Other research includes the effects of ongoing reading log entries on formal literary essays. I have a developing interest in theories and practices related to teacher development (both preservice and inservice) at the intersections of theory and practice related to the structuring of school practices in literature through collaborative/joint explorations. |
