Teaching
When we teach writing, we are actively and daily reshaping the world to be more peaceful, more understanding, more just, and more humane. Each day and for the rest of their lives, our students will wake up and write their world into existence. We get to help them make it a good one.
As a Writing Program Administrator, I am especially concerned with systemic barriers to student success in General Education classes, and how we might build more equitable approaches to writing instruction via both pedagogy and administration.
