I am an Instructor of English at Auburn University. I maintain Interminable Rambling, a blog about literature, composition, culture, and pedagogy. I have published articles and book reviews in various venues including LEAR, MELUS, Mississippi Quarterly, African American Review and Callaloo.

My research focuses on African American, Southern, and Nineteenth Century American literature. I have written on Ernest J. Gaines, Charles Chesnutt, George Washington Cable, Catharine Maria Sedgwick, and others. Currently, I am working on two projects. One involves a collected edition of scholarly work on Frank Yerby. The second explores the ways that authors such as James Baldwin, Ernest J. Gaines, William Melvin Kelley, Frank Yerby, Alice Walker, and other African American authors in the mid to late twentieth century explore racist thought in the white psyche.

For fifteen years, I have taught at the secondary and post-secondary level. My teaching has included English composition and American literature (colonial through the present). I am a firm believer in active learning in the classroom. This involves everything from classroom discussions that involve tools such as wikis to larger projects where students construct products that teach their peers and me as well.

You can see my CV on my website, and you can follow me on Twitter @SilasLapham.
