I am currently working on a forthcoming project:
For the collection, Feminist Design Rhetorics: Theories, Practices, and Pedagogies for Building Equity and Collective Justice. My chapter, “Design in the Archives: Using Archive Material as a Strategy in Teaching Feminist Design and Equity," explores documents from the Suffragettee, ERA, and Riot Grrrl eras to examine design and equity by working with archive materials as a way to discuss feminist design in historical context,
Speaking Up, Speaking Out: The Lived Experiences of NTT Faculty in Writing Studies
Speaking Up, Speaking Out addresses the lived experiences of those working in the non-tenure-track faculty (NTTF) trenches through storytelling and reflection. By connecting NTTF voices from various aspects of writing studies, the collection offers fresh perspectives and meaningful contributions, imagining the possibilities for contingent faculty to be valued and honored in educational systems that often do the opposite. Challenging traditional ways of seeing NTTF, the work contains multiple entry points to NTT life: those with and without “terminal degrees,” those with PhDs, and those who have held or currently hold tenured positions.
"Organic Mentorship: A Feminist Model to Support Scholars and Leaders.”
Written with Jen Almjeld and Kris Blair, this chapter examines the organic feminist mentorship that the authors experienced with each other as they moved from PhD students, to junior faculty to administrative positions. This was written for the collection, Surviving Sexism in the Academy.
"Reblogging as Writing: The Role of Tumblr in the Writing Classroom.”
This chapter, published in Engaging 21st Century Writers with Social Media explores how multimodal composition and social media conventions can support writing
and introduce students to writing to multiple audiences. This chapter outlines an assignment that uses Tumblr as a space to help students establish regular writing practices in online spaces.
"Women, Healing and Community: Cyberfeminist Activities on Reddit"
This Kairos webtext investigates this contradiction of users on reddit and contends that women have embraced reddit as a space for cyberfeminist activity through their PCOS subreddit.
“Writing Landfills: A Critical Technological Literacy Approach to Electronic Waste.”
Published in the Proceedings of the Computers and Writing Annual Conference 2019, this article considers the ethical implications of e-waste in computers and writing and how we can use Selfe’s (1999) critical technological literacy to help students understand these issues. I introduce approaches and assignments that ask students to critically consider their own e-waste and how it impacts our field
and professional practices.
