Greetings!
Here's a little about me:
I have taught composition classes at State University of New York at Binghamton and Seattle Central Community College. I have also taught high school English and journalism. I have been a distance learning instructor at Seattle Central since 1994. A published author, I work at University of Washington Educational Outreach as an instructional designer editing course materials for publication on the World Wide Web. I am a member of the Modern Language Association (MLA), the Gay and Lesbian Caucus for the Modern Languages, the International Brecht Society (IBS), the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), and NCTE's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Issues in Academic Studies Advisory Committee (LGBT Advisory Committee). My research focuses on the differing language and cultural norms of queer and straight society and the effect of these differences on the interface between the queer community and straight culture.
I love dancing and spending time with my family and friends. I grow roses and am happy for any tips for successful gardening.
I hope that Queer Foundation projects will encourage everyone involved in them to be their best and to go on to inspire others as well.

Best wishes,
Joseph Dial, Executive Director
