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.

  • Denying Death

    It came as something of a surprise when a classmate recommended a book to me called The Denial of Death. It’s not the sort of thing I usually read. But when I skimmed the table of contents, the recommendation made more sense. Author Ernest Becker spends his book on death…

  • STC Certification

    I’ve been mulling over my opinion on this for almost a month, and I really haven’t made any progress besides reading other people’s comments and waffling on what I think of the whole thing. (Check out the announcement and ensuing comments threads at the STC Notebook.) Pros for certification include…

  • Facebook and forming Identity

    I just completed a project on identity and how we mediate it in online spheres. (It was a graduate project for a class on Hypertext. Check it out at Mediating My Selves.)  This is something that’s increasingly important for scholar-writers in the age of the Internet. While I’m not sure…

  • SEND

    I just finished reading Send: Why People Email So Badly and How to Do It Better by David Shipley and Will Schwalbe. I have to say I’m impressed; I bought the book thinking it might have material I could teach as part of my Technical Writing course, and I did…
