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.

    A student passed this along to me: I think having Western women who are so carefully and responsibly engaged–and who make their embodiment clear throughout–in investigating child marriage makes this documentary particularly fascinating.

  • Re-branding Merida

    When Disney came out with the movie Brave, I loved it. That’s probably not surprising. I identify with the heroine, Merida, on the levels of appearance and heritage, for one thing. But, more importantly, writer Brenda Chapman is from my home county of just 30,000 people. And, even better, this is…

  • B Corps

    Public-benefit corporation (B Corps) designations are a fascinating example of one way to redefine efficiency. This legal designation is a way to recognize when a company explicitly and purposefully values social and environmental benefits, thus encouraging company leaders to rethink the need to “maximize shareholder value at all costs.” Read more…
