RESEARCH GROUPS DIRECTED or COORDINATED
The VERITAS project (Virtual Experiences as Remediated Incarnations of Time and Space project. Coordinator 1998-present.) The VERITAS project began as the Virtual Harlem project which inspired the Virtual Bronzeville and Virtual Monmartre projects. The project aims to develop virtual reality models of Harlem, NY, Bronzeville an African American neighborhood in Chicago, and Monmartre, Paris, France in the 1930s. These three sites were important locations of African American culture during the New Negro Movement more familiarly known as the the Harlem Renaissance. The VERITAS project is structured as a collaborative learning network environment or an alternative educational environment that utilizes the most recent communication and instructional technologies to link students of African American culture together.
ASCEND (Director, 2002–2004) The Arts and Sciences Collaborative Exchange Network Development (ASCEND) project has two central goals: (1) to be an online network where learning collaborations between the arts and the sciences across disciplines and educational institutions are developed and tested, and (2) to provide educational content and assessments of distance education projects for teachers and learners at the various sites in the network. The ASCEND project has collaborators at seven sites: UIC and the SciTech small science museum in Illinois, Central Missouri State (CSMU) in Missouri, Columbia Teachers College in New York, Alternative Educational Environments in Tucson Arizona, the Sorbonne in Paris, France, and Växjö University in Växjö, Sweden.
E-Works & TicToc (Director, 1996-1998): e-works was intended to be a virtual English department that provides an online complement to the activities of UICs English department. I directed the group of researchers into online environments who designed the construction of e-works as a research project that studied the relations between virtual and actual departmental activities. The TicToc project (Teaching in Cyberspace Through Online Courses) was a year-long discussion culminating in a symposium, the proceedings of which were published in Works and Days.
CYCLES (Director, 1991-1996): the Cycles project is a series of online experiments in collaborative research which explore the implications of telecommunications for cultural criticism. The Cycles project integrates the functions of a seminar, a textbook, a conference, a symposium, a newsletter, and a journal through electronic correspondence which is channeled into hypertext publications as well as issues of Works and Days.
GRIP (Director, 1982-1987): the Group for Research into the Institutionalization and Professionalization of Literary Study, a national research group studying the relationship among the development of literary studies, the history of the university as an institution and the rise of professionalism.
MURGE (Director, 1980): The Miami University Research Group Experiment, a sentence by sentence structural analysis of Joyce's "Araby." MURGE II (1981): a continuation of the work of the previous group in which five graduate students collaborated on the design of classroom exercises based on the narratological theory.
