Welcome to the home page of Bob Broad.
My full name is Robert Lavery Broad, which has a nice ring to it. That
name also records my matriarchal as well as my patriarchal lines. Still, as a
modest counter-weight to
the stuffy tendencies of the academy, I've chosen to make my informal name (Bob)
my professional
name.
I am a Professor of English at Illinois State University, teaching graduate
courses in rhetoric & composition, writing assessment,
research methods, and pedagogy as well as a variety of undergraduate
courses in writing, English Studies, and English Education.
My research interests include writing assessment, qualitative research
methods, rhetorical theories, and composition pedagogy. |
