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.

        Loved this story about women at the Indy 500, especially because of its focus on pit crew members as well as drivers. “Whereas nine women have raced the track, only two have worked elbow deep in grease and car carcass in the pit crew. The adrenaline-pounding work of…

  • NFL hires first female official

    Sarah Thomas has been named the first full-time female official in NFL history. The league made the groundbreaking announcement last week. Read the whole story straight from the NFL here –> http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000484154/article/nfl-makes-sarah-thomas-first-fulltime-female-official Love the question the interviewer asks around 2:30 about what sorts of challenges Thomas will face–and I really…

  • Women speaking in the Bible

    The following is a pretty interesting study. It’s not exactly historiographical, but it provides foundations for some very cool historiographical work. For example, I’m left wanting to know how the “New Revised Standard Version” of the Bible developed over time, and of course I’d like to know more about the…
