Interesting article on reading well.

https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2019/january-february/karen-swallow-prior-good-books-make-better-people-reading.html Not that I totally agree with her . . . wrote about this on the other blog.  The screen issue is not resolved (although common sense tells us it's negative); literature's purpose is not to teach Biblically affirming moral lessons; all reading is not created equal. 

My research areas

With some colleagues I am trying to develop a book on High Impact practices, and yesterday I interviewed a co-professor who engaged in a learning community this semester between English 1101 and Psychology 1101. It was an interesting exchange and I hope to publish it soon here in draft form.  I'm interview three others in a focus group Tuesday. I also am engaged in a  project on student and faculty perceptions of open educational resources; a project on gratitude; and one on senior's experience in basic speech.
