In a series of situated studies that draw on theoretical frameworks from cultural-historical activity theory and dialogic semiotics, he has explored connections among writing, reading, talk, learning, and disciplinarity. This work has appeared in articles, book chapters, and a 1998 book, Writing/Disciplinarity: A Sociohistoric Account of Literate Activity in the Academy (Lawrence Erlbaum). He has also co-edited with Charles Bazerman What Writing Does and How It Does It: An Introduction to Analyzing Texts and Textual Practices (Lawrence Erlbaum). Current projects include studies of the writing process as dispersed, embodied, and situated literate activity and a study that traces the remediation of an interactive online art object.
