As I completed my book, The Disciplinary Divorce: Foucault, Law, and Narrative, I have became increasingly interested the intersection of discourse with surveillance and governmentality. My recent consulting in forensic linguistics has included work on confessions, trademark and patent and insurance policy language. I have just finished writing an article on confessions and I hope to do more work in that area and on custodial interrogations. I am also working on an article assessing the disjunction between what AP English constructs as college English and what strong writing programs as college writing. My teaching is primarily in English language and I will teach ENGL 370, English Language Study in Autumn 2004 as a large lecture course. In recent years, I have also taught seminars in Discourse Analysis, Contemporary Scholarship in Composition, and Legal Discourse. Research Publications, Books Gail Stygall.
