I have taught at Stanford University since 1987, where I taught graduates and undergraduates, served as Associate Director, and directed the undergraduate writing program from 1991 – 1992.
I have authored and edited eleven books in the discipline of rhetoric and composition. See List of Publications.

I also taught in the Foundations of Patient Care Program at the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine for 11 years (2002 – 2013).
