Narrative as Social Action: Making Rhetorical Narrative Theory Accountable to Context
The current reckoning with systemic bias and discrimination calls for centering historical and social context in narrative theory, as in other domains of academic and public life.

Readings of two Ge…
But We Are Living in a Material (and Virtual) World: How Tiny-House Blogs are Transforming the Bildungsroman

I show the way in which these authors use fairy tale f…

This article presents the concept of linguistic and cultural perspective as a strategy for helping students to develop the interrelated linguistic and…
