Hi, this webpage is a combination of two webpages--my personal one plus all the information that used to be housed at my school one. It's currently under a certain amount of construction, which is why you'll find some blank pages. but I'll be done soon.

I am a first year PhD student at Wayne State University, adjunct faculty at Baker College, a member of various theatrical organizations, and at least a *few* people's friend. I am mainly interested in rhetoric/composition and technology studies, but have recently become interested in racial studies. Outside of school I enjoy dance and choreography (ballet, modern, tap, swing, etc.), singing (musicals and chorale societies), kayaking, and trying to teach my dog to be a *little* less annoying. Sometimes I even have time to read for fun.

I'm in the process of uploading old course webpages and syllabi, my vita is recent as of Sept 6, 2006, and I welcome e-mails at austerea@yahoo.com.

Thanks for the visit,

~Jill
