I study new media, multimodal composing, qualitative research methods,
and rhetoric, culture, & postmodern theory. Lately, I've been into how
teachers express themselves in their classrooms, so I'm writing up data
from this national study I conducted—whether, how, and why LGBTQ-

identified writing teachers come out to their students. Here are some 
select publications:

Outreach: Merging School and Community Teaching Practices." Journal of
Teaching Writing, vol. 35, no. 2, 2021. pp. 69-108. (online publication forthcoming)
