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.

  • Fathers’ drinking: Also responsible for fetal disorders?

    A new research study published in Animal Cells and Systems has shown, using mice, “the first definitive evidence that fathers’ drinking habits pre-conception can cause significant fetal abnormalities.” I have lots of questions about this study. First and foremost: Why is this shocking? It just seems logical to me that…

  • Leadership

    I’m in a leadership workshop this semester and am also teaching a lot about leadership … I suppose it’s a sort of theme for spring 2016. I’m going to post some links here that I’ve found useful so far: 12 Leadership Tips When You Are Not the Boss Become a…
