My research areas are defined by the intersection of feminisms and technical communication. Feminist Technical Communication explores just that intersection and many of the sites of confluence—healthcare, risk, environmental rhetorics—for these two disciplines. This book builds upon my 2013 dissertation “Theorizing an Apparent Feminism in Technical Communication,” which won the Conference on College Composition and Communication Outstanding Dissertation Award in Technical Communication. My work has appeared in Computers and Composition, Journal of Business and Technical Communication, Technical Communication Quarterly, Programmatic Perspectives, and Peitho: Journal of the Coalition of Feminist Scholars in the History of Rhetoric & Composition. (My older publications can be found under the surname Frost.) The same theoretical commitments that inform my research also guide my teaching; I hope my students describe me as fair, collaborative, curious, and open-minded.

  • Mountain Lion

    Today I finally found time to do a little research on the latest Mac OS, Mountain Lion. For the record, I’m a slow adopter when it comes to OS updates. I get attached. I like the familiarity of the way things work, and changing my habits takes time and patience…

  • Going to Cs!

    Very excited to be sharing a panel with some fabulous scholars at CCCC in March. More details to come, but make sure to look for the panel entitled  “Complicating Composition: Technical Communication’” at 8 a.m. Friday!

  • You are not your grades.

    A re-post from the Chronicle … I wish someone had told me this when I was an undergrad. On the other hand, I probably wouldn’t have listened: “You are not your grades. I want my students to avoid defining themselves in terms of a grade. I want them to know that…

  • Games for Change

    This is a link to Arizona State’s TeachOnline site about the 2012 Games for Change Conference. I am especially interested in the James Paul Gee talk on “Big G” games. (Partly because it’s a fascinating study on the “popular” uptake of theory.)

  • Certificate vs. Degree: A Rung on the Ladder

    This Inside Higher Ed story talks about the difference between certificates and degrees, suggesting that certificates are additional rungs on the metaphorical education ladder. (Whew, that’s an interesting metaphor that I don’t have time to deal with!) Where it gets really interesting is the second part of the story, which…
