You have reached the web home of S.C. Gooch.
I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature at Purdue University.
My work addresses marginal spaces and borders in South American literature and history, Victorian and twentieth-century British literature, and travel narratives through tourism theory, postcolonial theory, and cultural anthropology.
My other scholarly interests include comics and sequential art, open content/access/source projects, theater, film and digital culture.
I’m also a founding member of the Purdue Sequential Art Narratives reading, discussion and pedagogy collective.
In my free time I’m an instructor at Purdue teaching English 106 First-Year Composition under the auspices of the award winning Introductory Composition at Purdue program. We try to do some pretty cool stuff - you can check out the basics of what we’re trying to teach students for yourself.
You can also check out the syllabuses of my First-Year Composition classes (Fall 07, Spring 08, Fall 08, Spring 09, and Fall 09) and read about why and how I teach, if you’re so inclined.
