Research Agenda


Research Areas:

My research areas include rhetoric, composition, professional writing (user-centered theory, usability, user-activism, visual rhetoric), mixed research methodologies, 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 many approaches to teaching writing, and 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.
