M.A. in English. 1971, University of Akron

Research and Teaching Interests top

My research and teaching both take place at the intersection of digital media studies with visual and feminist rhetorics. I am currently developing a “pedagogy of place,” involving my primarily first-generation college students as researchers in and of their urban environment, and revising a digital book project on embodied rhetoric and the visual canon of arrangement..
