Teaching
I teach a variety of classes. If you would like to see any materials from the courses below, please contact me!
Who Runs the World: Feminism & Design
This class engages feminist theory to better understand the work of women and their impact on design in a variety of ways including history, visual rhetoric, social media, and digital and physical technology
Document Design
Professional writers not only compose documents like reports and web pages, but also design them. Document design and visual rhetoric requires analyzing how structures help readers use texts. This course investigates document design from multiple perspectives, balancing theory and practice.
Professional E-Portfolio
This class asks students to study professional portfolios, job market materials, and social media identity as genres of the job market and how to use them as students prepare to graduate and enter their professional lives.
Composing Digital Stories
This course focuses on how we can use digital technology to explore the various ways to tell a story and as a form of meaning-making through by examining different digital storytelling genres – podcasts, YouTube, gaming, infographics, blogging, websites, and social media.
Environmental Rhetoric and Writing
This course is designed to involve students in a range of writing practices in environmental studies, to cultivate a strong sense of the importance of writing as a form of environmental action, and to assist students to develop their own writing voices.
Introduction to Professional Writing
In this class, students learn about professional writing careers, what kinds of writing professional writers do, and some of the core communication tools/proficiencies professional writers have.
For this course, I created an OER textbook, titled, Writing at Work, currently available in several OER repositories. Click on the image below to link to the text.
