Interests
Autism Spectrum Disorders & Language Arts Education
As a researcher and educator, I have a personal interest
in students with developmental disorders, in particular autism spectrum
disorders (ASDs). Among the challenges for autistic students, ASDs
affect language development and social skills. Writing is social,
requiring both collaborative skills and empathy for the audience.
I believe we can and must use technology to help ASD students. While
technology can be helpful, I encourage parents and teachers of ASD
students to avoid relying on too much on computers and other technologies.
Language is learned in real-life contexts, not online staring at
computer screens divorced from realistic situations.
Philosophy & Fiction
Additionally, I research the influence of Continental
Philosophy on writing, particularly modern fiction and new
media. The term “existential” is used to describe many works of
fiction, but does the term apply? Is existentialism misunderstood
by critics of fiction, placed under the heading “postmodern” for
convenience? My concerns include the tendency to render words and
symbols problematic without proposing solutions to our need to
communicate. I believe words do have temporarily “fixed” meanings,
which can be discerned by and within the context of a work.
