About

I set up this web site to serve as a sort of hub of info about me, the classes I teach, and the web sites I manage, but I’m still sorting out the best way to use the site. See the About Amy page for a brief bio.

I spend most of my web design time working on the web sites listed on the Home page, especially the Rhetoric of Gender and Sexuality, my DigitalWriting101.net support site, and the PWR Digital Composition blog. I hope to spend more time on Rhetoric of Design soon, as I have lots to say about the topic!

As for what you can find here:

CV and Contact
These tabs take you where you’d expect to go.
Blog
This tab also takes you where you’d expect to go, except the blog itself is kind of a mix of stuff I’ve published on my other sites as well as a few things that didn’t seem to belong anywhere else, like the video clip of my 1996 TV interview about Lesbian.org If I re-do the site in Dreamweaver instead of WordPress, I’ll probably move the blog somewhere else or abandon it entirely.
Help
Under this tab you’ll find two pages: Help for Students and Help for Colleagues. The Help for Students page includes information about how to meet with me in person as well as links to handouts and screencast tutorials of use to students. The Help for Colleagues page includes links to relevant handouts and screencasts as well as information about some of the workshops and other services I offer to faculty.
Papers
This tab takes you to a list of papers I wrote in the mid-90′s that have been published on my own web sites, in one form or another, pretty much since I wrote them. Some of them, like the paper on butch-femme identities among lesbians, have been linked to from many other web sites, so I wanted to give them a more or less “permanent home.”
Stories
This tab takes you to a few short stories I wrote in the mid-90′s, mostly exploring aspects of lesbian identity.

That’s it for now. Thanks for stopping by!
