Her current project is based on a yearlong ethnographic study of clinical nursing simulations, where nursing students provide hands-on care and verbal communication to robotic patients in structured scenarios. She aims to theorize a materialist rhetoric of patient simulation, model a material rhetorical methodology for coding video data, and consider the implications of these findings for posthuman pedagogy in technical and professional writing classrooms. Her work is published or forthcoming in Women’s Studies in Communication, Composition Forum, and Written Communication.
