Dr. Michael Keller received his Ph.D. in English (Language, Literacy, and Rhetoric) from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1993. That same year he joined the faculty at SDSU and since then has served as Coordinator of Composition. He teaches the graduate seminars in Teaching College Composition and in Rhetoric and the following undergraduate courses: Composition I and II, Technical Communication, Introduction to Literature, Fiction, Poetry, and American Literature I. He is co-author of National Textbook's Handbook for Writers (1995) and is currently at work on two books: a popular culture reader and a history of the lyceum bureau, the institution that evolved to organize and exploit the profusion of lecture activity that arose in mid-nineteenth-century America. To pursue the latter project, he has received funding from SDSU and the NEH. He is a former editor of Another Chicago Magazine and Another Chicago Press, has edited two collections of contemporary writing, and has published poems, essays, and reviews in a variety of scholarly and small-press journals. |
