Welcome to the homepage of Susan Perala-Dewey, Instructor of Composition at the University of Minnesota Duluth.  The photo at right was taken upon entering graduate school in September 2001. Since that time I have earned not only my M.A. in English and a position teaching composition here at UMD, but a liberal sprinkling of silver hair and fine facial wrinkles (mostly from smiles and forehead furrows due to deep thinking). While I am not teaching, reading, or writing, I am actively involved with my busy family.
