"Good learners, like everyone else, are living, squirming, questioning, perceiving, fearing, loving, and languaging nervous systems, but they are good learners precisely because they believe and do certain things that less effective learners do not believe and do." -Postman and Weingartner (31)

Research

My published research in the following areas can be seen on my cv page:

  • teacher development in composition
  • writing program values
  • reflective writing
  • first-year writing and knowledge transfer
  • mentoring and peer mentoring in writing programs
  • student and faculty experiences with and attitudes about linguistic diversity

My current research focuses on integrating student voice principles and activities into the administration of our community writing program. I also research how members of the field of rhetoric and writing studies write about their participation in professional activities; this ongoing work emerges in the Composition Studies Documentarian Project Exhibit (which I co-edit with Jennifer Grouling) on the WAC Repository and in documentation of the Preferable Futures Symposium, which I co-facilitated with Clay Walker.
