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.

  • Globalization and freedom

    In my opinion, Chapter 9 in Practices of Looking encompassed way too much material. There’s so much to talk about, and just not enough time to do it in the space of a single chapter. I’d first like to address the interaction of the terms the authors first introduce: globalization,…

  • A Return to Basics

    The thing I most like about graphic design – besides the fact that it’s just cool – is that it’s really all about mastery of the basics. Lupton and Phillips seem to note this even with the title of their text: “Graphic Design: The New Basics.” The sections on hierarchy,…

  • Client-based work

    Ah, it’s been a while since I’ve worked for a real client. Our projects this week had an entirely new spin than anything else we had so far done. Knowing that an actual potential client would evaluate our work and perhaps choose to expose it to thousands of people provides…

  • Information Communications Professional Technical Document Design

    This week’s design readings were informative for me in a number of ways. They made me feel a little schizophrenic – as talk of design often does – because I wanted to engage them in about six different ways at once. (As Schriver notes, design is in everything from the…
