Grants

In 2011, I received a $5000 grant from the Mansfield Institute for Social Justice to support the redesign of LIBS 201, “Writing Social Justice” at Roosevelt University. These funds were used to integrate service-learning projects in six different sections involved in a preliminary pilot study.

In 2011, the Composition program also received $20,000 from the Provost’s Office at Roosevelt in support of our proposal to pilot “Stretch 101” — an innovative model pioneered at Arizona State University.

In 2009, I received $30,000 grant from the Provost’s Office at the University of Southern Mississippi to implement a similar program, which we called “Expanded 100.”

In 2008, I received a $50,000 grant co-sponsored by the National Center for Academic Transformation and the Mississippi Institute for Higher Learning to redesign English 333, “Technical Writing” at the University of Southern Mississippi.

At the University of Utah I received two $3000 Course Development Grant sponsored by the Technology Assisted Curriculum Center to develop online versions of WRTG 3400, “Professional Writing” (2001) and WRTG 3700, “Writing in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences” (2004).
