Research Interests
My research focuses on the role of writing and rhetoric in human understanding and specifically on the role of writing in the construction of disciplinary knowledge. Because genres and writing practices have changed in response to new media environments and communication technologies, my special focus is on digital writing in the disciplines. My interests stem largely from many years of teaching undergraduates about disciplinary writing and research and the realization that today’s students and communicators must adapt to increasingly complex communication environments.
