Francisco Acoba
I am an associate professor of English, teaching literature and writing (with a sustainability focus). I believe in Peter Elbow's enabling mantra that "[e]veryone can write." More specifically, within a particular context, everyone can generate text that follows conventions and goes beyond them and has meaning for the writer and the intended audience.
