Research Areas:
My research areas
include rhetoric, composition, mixed research methodologies, professional
writing (user-centered theory, usability, user-activism, visual rhetoric), and public rhetorics.
I’m interested in all forms of rhetoric and how we can use these
theories together to teach critical reading, thinking, and writing to
undergraduate and graduate students, as well as adult learners. My interests
in composition pedagogy span all of the approaches to teaching writing:
classical rhetoric, common sense realism, expressionist, cognitive, epistemic,
post-process, and workplace writing. I’m interested in how teachers
of writing can use all of these approaches to help students in
college writing, in workplace writing, and in public writing.
