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.

    I use this blog as a thinking space; it’s not polished/organized, and that’s on purpose. You’ll find entries that relate to my interdisciplinary interests (see word cloud in sidebar). While I will be excited for comments here and in other venues, lurkers are very welcome.

  • Re-post: Humanities Majors Will Be Fine

    A re-post from WashingtonMonthly.com: One of the constant refrains of college critics has to do with those students majoring in the humanities. “We don’t need a lot more anthropologists in the state,” said Florida governor Rick Scott recently. “It’s a great degree if people want to get it, but we don’t…

  • Forging Connections in New Directions

    Below is the CFP for a great conference opportunity for ISU students, both graduate and undergraduate. New Directions is low-stress and lots of fun. The conference is Feb. 3, and you can send me other questions as I’m on the organizing committee.  Also note–though the CFP below says the deadline…

  • Rhetorical timelines

    I’ve been kicking around the idea of having students in my spring Rhetorical Theory class create some sort of timeline of rhetorical history and then justify what/who they included on it. This semester, we included Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Quintillian, and Aspasia in our discussion of ancient rhetorical scholars. Of…
