Biography

I am a professor of English and Endowed Chair in Rhetoric and Composition at the University of Louisville. I write and teach on issues of literacy, identity, pedagogy, sustainability, digital media, and popular culture. In addition to my Routledge books, my books include Shimmering Literacies: Popular Culture and Reading and Writing Online, Identity Papers: Literacy and Power in Higher Education, and Tuned In: Television and the Teaching of Writing.

Areas of Research / Professional Expertise

My recurring research interests have been the intersections of the literacy practices people engage in in their daily lives and the literacy practices they encounter in schools and universities. My most recent book is based on interviews with students about their experiences of writing during the global pandemic. I also have an ongoing interest in digital media technologies and literacy with a current focus on a global climate change education project involving students in different countries. Other current projects include work on community writing projects and writing center research. I also write creative nonfiction, both as an approach to my scholarly writing and as essays on other subjects.
