Profile: I'm a lecturer in the English Department at UC Riverside, where I spend most of my time teaching composition. I've also had the fortune to teach literature classes about this guy and this other guy. And I really wish that I could someday teach courses about these guys.
I also run the union web site and maintain its mailing lists. If you have some ideas for how to improve the site to make it snazzier or more useful I'm the person to contact.
