Work in Progress / Revision
Article or book chapter: “Faculty Publications in the AI Era: Tenure, Promotion, and a Changing Policy Landscape.” Completing draft and looking for suitable publication venue. Working title: English Education, Disruptive Technologies: A Comprehensive Guide to Becoming a Teacher of English/Language Arts in the Era of AI ("methods" textbook with a focus on theory into practice, with a focus on the integration of new technologies, changing delivery modes, and correlation with outcomes and standards). Currently completing three sample chapters for submission. This work stems from my experience preparing teachers in the midst of changing technologies. I am beginning to integrate the changing landscape of AI into the teaching of writing and literature as well as its potential uses in teacher education. Working title: The American Eve: Problematizing the Landscape of the American Canon (study of five seminal American novels, written by white males, and their more current counterparts, written by women and/or writers of color). This work combines my dissertation research with my more recent scholarly focus on multicultural literature, ecocriticism/ecofeminism, and the beginnings of spatial humanities. I am revising this for publication, considering several series, including Rutgers UP’s “American Literatures Initiative.” Currently working to finish the ms by the end of 2026 or early 2027.
