Her research interests focus around writing and location—discursive ethnic, racial, and national identities; material rhetorics of time and space; critical discourse analysis; place-based ways of seeing and knowing scholarly disciplines. Her past work on community-based and experiential learning, feminist praxis, mentoring, critical multiculturalism, and civic engagement at all levels of curriculum support learning as a transformative experience, based on the conceptualization of teaching as reflective practice. She teaches Academic Writing, Rhetorics of Identity, Writing for Scholarly Audiences, Composition Studies, and Critical Studies of Discourse, among other courses. Her recent publications may be found in Rhetoric Review, College Composition and Communication, Discourse and Society, and The American Review of Canadian Studies.
