I'm Dave Truncellito, a professor of writing at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.CV. I teach theme-based courses which serve as an introduction to academic writing, research, and critical thinking for all first-year students.
My graduate training is in philosophy, and my undergraduate degree is in Mathematics and Philosophy. Before I began teaching first-year writing courses, I taught philosophy; I still occasionally teach a philosophy course. I've also done, and continue to do, a fair amount of online teaching.
