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.
