Welcome!

Welcome to my blog and website for this course.

Throughout the semester, I will post things here related to the course: announcements, descriptions of assignments, and supplementary material. I suggest that you “bookmark” it in your browser. Here are some links on how to bookmark a page: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome. If you do that, it should only take you a few seconds to check the website.

For now, you need to work your way through the course documents: the Syllabus, The Guide to Blogging in this Course, The Guide to Commenting in this Course, How to Set Up Your Blog, and the Course Calendar. When you are done with all of that, make sure to complete the Consent to Comply Form for this class.

I look forward to the discussions we'll have over the course of this semester!

Leave Your Blog URL Here

Once you've set up your own blog, leave a comment on this post with your name and the URL to your blog. This is so that I will be able to have access to your blogs and also so that I can build a list of links so that everyone in the class will be able to access each other's blogs.

Note: It leaves your name automatically when you leave a comment, but I'm asking for your name just in case you didn't use your actual name as your display name. If that's you, go to your settings and change your display name so I'll know who you are.

Professor Corrigan Bio

Here is a brief academic bio about myself along with a picture of my family.

I teach writing, literature, and humanities at Southeastern University. My wife Christine and I have two young daughters, Elea and Sara. We live in Lakeland.

I have an MA degree in Literature from North Carolina State University, and I am working on a PhD in the same thing at the University of South Florida. I have also done graduate studies at Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My scholarly research focuses on Christian spirituality, literature, and pedagogy.

I have presented scholarly papers at the Conference on Christianity and Literature, the College Theology Society, the North Carolina Symposium on Teaching Writing, and the American Academy of Religion in Montreal, among others. I have written peer-reviewed articles published in the journal Literature and Belief and in God, Grace, and Creation: The Annual Volume of the College Theology Society and have written short articles on teaching published or forthcoming in The Teaching Professor and Pedagogy.
