Research Interests
Catherine Paul's research interests include transatlantic modernist studies, literature and visual culture, museum studies, American literature, poetry, and pedagogy. Over the last several years, thanks in part to her participation in a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar at the American Academy in Rome, she has been expanding her work on interrelations between literature and visual culture. Her current book project examines Ezra Pound's writings from the 1930s in the context of cultural nationalist movements that were a part of Mussolini's fascist regime. After a brief treatment of Pound’s early visits to Italy, in which he had a tourist’s view of the young nation, she turns her focus to his edition Guido Cavalcanti Rime (1932), reading that volume as his foray into the cultural nationalism that had developed in Italy by the 1920s and that was important to that nation’s growing sense of itself as a unified country. In the course of her work she addresses writings by Margherita Sarfatti, art critic and cultural advisor to Mussolini, artworks by Mario Sironi and other members of the Novecento group, large-scale public exhibitions designed to help ordinary Italians understand and invest in the fascist project, and architectural projects like Giuseppe Terragni’s Danteum. The book follows Pound’s intellectual trajectory through the 1930s and into the 1940s, when he was arrested by the American Army for treason because of his investment in the cultural and propaganda work of Mussolini’s regime.

Catherine Paul’s research for this book has taken her to several cities in Italy, where she has explored buildings and artworks made during the fascist period as well as many older monuments that were reinterpreted during the fascist period. In May 2004, she will be the Donald C. Gallup Fellowship in American Literature, conducting archival research for this project at Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library.

Research Interests
Summer Taylor studies writing assessment, especially the teaching and assessment of writing in engineering. Her most recent research study compares the intended meaning of engineering teachers' comments on student papers with the student writers' perceptions of their meaning.  Dr. Taylor has also recently compared writing and engineering teachers’ standards for assessment, examined the effects of client-based pedagogy on assessment and learning, and studied the effects of classroom spaces on teaching and learning. She generally investigates research questions using empirical methods. Dr. Taylor is Director of the MA in Professional Communication program and the Advanced Writing Program.

Research Interests
Rhondda Robinson Thomas earned her PhD in English with a concentration in nineteenth-century African American literature at the University of Maryland in 2007. She is currently working on a book project titled Exodus: Literary Migrations of Afro-Atlantic Authors, 1760-1903 that analyzes black writers’ and artists’ sophisticated appropriations of Exodus stories that extend beyond the Moses narrative to include Joseph and Joshua experiences, and multiple representations of the Promised Land both in the Americas and abroad, all of which produce unfulfilled Exodus narratives of discontinuity and fragmentation for Afro-Atlantic people. She examines texts ranging from Briton Hammon’s Narrative (1760) to Pauline Hopkins’ novel Winona: A Tale of Negro Life in the South and Southwest (1902). She is also working with a Creative Inquiry team to publish the first edited and annotated edition of Pendleton, South Carolina, native Jane Edna Hunter’s autobiography A Nickel and a Prayer (1940). Her research interests include migration, racial identity formation, the law and literature, and black women writers.

Research Interests
Victor's areas of special interests are histories and theories of rhetorics (Greco-Roman, Early Modern, Modern, Postmodern); historiographies of rhetorics; contemporary writing theories and pedagogies; rhetorical invention; technology and writing (electracy, new media, digital studies); architecture, photography, film, and video; contemporary philosophy (German, French, Italian), and the failures of cultural critique.

Recent Publications
Victor's first book of a trilogy-- Negation, Subjectivity, and The History of Rhetoric (SUNY P 1997, 400 pages)--examines three contemporary historians of the Sophists and how these historians as well as others represent Sophists and, in particular, Isocrates and Gorgias under the signs of negativity and sub-jectivity (ab-jectivity). The second book-- Chaste Rape (under consideration for publication, 500 pages)--examines how Western rhetorics and cultures are represented under the signs of negativity and sexual violence. The third book-- Design as Dasein (in progress)--will examine how philosophical and architectural attitudes are represented under the signs of negativity and death.

Additionally, he is working on two other books: The Coming Peculiar Pedagogies: A User's Guide , in progress (includes samplings unmixed of beta versions of texts and videos on performing peculiar pedagogies), is part of a larger project on peculiar pedagogies developed for and by a community of post-pedagogues.
