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.

  • More LASIK ads

    I’ve had a rather hard time finding LASIK ads from countries other than the U.S. Similarly, LASIK photos of people with brown eyes (or any color other than blue) are few and far between. I did find an article in a Singapore-based zine called “asianone health” about government concerns with…

  • Race, Rhetoric, and Technology

    I’m currently enrolled in English 467: Race, Rhetoric, and Technology. I’ll be using this blog to post responses to readings for that class. I’ll use the tag “eng467″ to mark a post written for this course. English 467 is a new course at Illinois State University under Dr. Angela Haas.…

  • Cyborg vs. Carano

    Here’s something I don’t think I’ve touched on before: fighting. Talk about some visible rhetoric! Mixed martial arts is an up-and-coming sport, largely because the amount of blood inherent in the fights kept it off TV for a number of years. I was at a friend’s house this weekend to…

  • LASIK ads

    They all look kind of alike, don’t they? Right down to the color scheme. I’d guess the predominant color in these ads — blue — springs from the fact that most people have blue or blue-green eyes. (The figure is 47%, according to the American Academy of Opthamology. The next-highest…

  • LASIK

    I don’t think I’ve very found anything with quite such a direct tie to visible rhetoric. On July 9, I had LASIK eye surgery. Today, 20 days later, I can see better than 20/20. (My contact prescription previous to the surgery was in the -5.5 range.) What does this mean…
