research
My research interests include rhetorical studies, the history and theory of composition, political economy, critical theory, critical pedagogy, affect, multimodal writing, internet culture, feminisms and feminist studies, and youth/YA literature.
I completed my dissertation, “Appraising Our Investments in Youth: Rhetorical Education in the Age of Neoliberalism,” in 2018.
