Introduction

I've tried to start a blog a few different times. Tried one that was personal and one that was professional. This one is both. As a literacy researcher, I am interested in exploring literacy practices of everyday life. As a professor at the University of Rochester (http://www.rochester.edu/Warner/faculty/larson.html) I teach courses in teacher preparation and doctoral courses in research methods and curriculum.

I called this blog "literacy, life, and laughter" because I want to write and think about all these things and to hear from others about what they are writing and thinking about along these lines.
