About the Author
About the Author Joseph Bizup is Associate Professor of English and Associate Dean for Undergraduate Academic Programs and Policies in the College of Arts & Sciences at Boston University. Joe’s interests have ranged over the years from Victorian literature and culture, to cognitive psychology and linguistics, to writing studies, writing pedagogy, and writing program administration. What unites these interests is his concern with the ways in which language, especially written language, functions and circulates within social, intellectual, and institutional systems. His first book, Manufacturing Culture: Vindications of Early Victorian Industry (2003), examines strains of preindustrial rhetoric in nineteenth-century Britain. The bulk of his later work has been more pedagogical in focus. His approach to teaching research-based writing, known as “BEAM,” has been adopted by a number of colleges and universities, and he has contributed as a co-author or editor to several textbooks, including The Norton Reader (13th, 14th , and 15th editions), The Craft of Research (4th edition), Kate L. Turabian’s A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations (9th edition), Kate L. Turabian’s Student’s Guide to Writing College Papers (5th edition), and Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace (11th , 12th , and 13th editions). Additionally, Joe directed the College of Arts & Sciences Writing Program at Boston University and the Undergraduate Writing Program at Columbia University, and he co-directed the Bass Writing Program at Yale University. He holds a B.A. in English and mathematics from the University of Virginia, an M.A. in English from the University of Maryland, and a Ph.D. in English from Indiana University.
