Talking Justice. This text, completed as of May 2007, represents the work of my dissertation. As all members of my dissertation committee have advised me to do, I am currently constructing a book prospectus and am in search of a publisher.

The Critical Stance: A Manual for Teachers and Learners. This monograph is based on the extensive critical teaching and learning technology I have developed, used in my teaching, and delivered in faculty development workshops at various universities and colleges in the U.S. A first draft of this manuscript is completed. I am currently constructing a book prospectus and am in search of a publisher.
