Ken Lindblom left Illinois State University in 2003, where as Associate Professor of English he taught graduate and undergraduate courses in classical rhetoric, composition, English Studies, and English Education. He moved to Stony Brook University to return to his home state and to direct the English Education Program, which grants BA and MAT degrees that lead to NYS Teacher Certification in English, Grades 7-12.

At Stony Brook, Ken also teaches courses in the teaching of writing and English for aspiring secondary and college teachers and he serves on the Program in Writing and Rhetoric's Advisory Board. Previously, at Illinois State University, Ken founded the university's first post-baccalaureate certificate program: a series of six new courses designed for full-time secondary teachers leading to a Graduate Certificate in the Teaching of Writing in High School/Middle School. Ken's published scholarship includes articles and chapters on theory, history, and practice of composition-rhetoric in Rhetoric Review, English Journal, and, most recently, in Historical Studies of Writing Program Administration (Eds. L'Eplattenier and Mastrangelo. West Lafayette, IN: Parlor Press: 2004) and in Bringing Linguistics to the Schools (Eds. Denham and Lobeck. Mahwah, NJ: Erlbaum: 2005); several of these essays were co-authored with Patricia A. Dunn, who is also Associate Professor of English at Stony Brook. Ken has also published articles on Grice's Cooperative Principle in Journal of Pragmatics (where he serves as manuscript reviewer), RASK: International Journal of Language and Communication, and, most recently, in The International Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics (Elsevier, in press). Ken is also editor/author of a regular column in English Journal that focuses on socio-political issues in the teaching of secondary English: "Teaching English in the World." At the 2004 NCTE Convention, Ken was appointed to a three-year term on the new CEE Commission on Writing Teacher Education.
