University of Memphis Associate Professor of French
Memphis, TN
Associate Prof. of French, Course Coordinator, and Supervisor of French TAs at the University of Memphis.
My research focuses on the use of online translators, dictionaries, and related tools among L2 learners, including the prevalence of online translation usage among students, instructor and student attitudes towards online translators and dictionaries, and policies for encouraging responsible use of technology. I'm also a course designer, having created all four courses in our Department's basic language program for UofM Global.
I'm originally from the Chicago, IL area, lived in Carbondale, Illinois (where I got my B.A. from SIUC), Champaign, IL (where I got my M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign), lived in France for 3 years (Caen (Normandy) and Poitiers), and have lived in Memphis, TN and taught at the University of Memphis for 13 years. I have an 8-year-old daughter, Claire, with my wife of 15 years, Melanie.
