Some direct links to academic journals available through Tunghai's library (these won't work if you're not working through a Tunghai IP):

• Coming soon...

Some old stuff that's up on my Syracuse site--notes and what-not:

• Literacy and Rhetoric in Late Imperial China (notes from an independent study I did in 2000)
• "One China" as a Unit of Analysis" (paper I wrote for a discourse analysis class--very preliminary stuff; April 2001)
• Writing Centers and Diversity: An Annotated Bibliography (project for SU's Writing Center which, for some reason, they never put on the web--their loss)
• "Qualitative Studies in Contrastive Rhetoric: An Analysis of Composition Research" (done in 1999 for a course called "Comparative Processes and Premises of Research")
• Proposal for Comprehensive Exam in Composition and Cultural Rhetoric (written at some point in 2001, I believe--slowed down by 9/11, but finally finished and passed. I took the exam in the spring of 2002)
