Gian Pagnucci--Doctoral Thesis Direction 
Availability for
Dissertation Committees
I enjoy working with doctoral students,
especially in the areas of narrative research, composition, and
technology. However, as you can see from my commitments
below, I am already over extended. This situation has been exacerbated
by several retirements and pending retirements in the C&T doctoral
committee faculty. Because I am so over loaded with doctoral committee
work, I am usually behind on providing students feedback on dissertation
chapters. If you need constant and immediate feedback, you may wish to
consider a faculty member with fewer commitments.
Doctoral Committee
Participation Parameters
If you wish to have me serve as a
director or reader for your dissertation, you must agree to the
following parameters:
- I need 3 weeks to read materials
before a 3 chapter meeting
- I need 4 weeks to read a final
dissertation
- I need all documents you ask me to
read to be printed hard copies which are bound and carefully
proofread (no missing references!)
- I am NOT available for meetings in
the summer when I am not teaching
- I am NOT available for any
meetings if I am on sabbatical
Partial Listings
Since I serve as a director or reader for
so many doctoral students, the lists below are not complete. I do try to
keep this list up-to-date, but I'm often behind. So if I've left your
name off a list, please know it's just a simple oversight, not an
intentional slight. Email me, and I'll happily update the list.
