Associate Lecturer, Writing

identity, we ask students to reflect on what shaped them as writers and to think about the relationship between literacies and power. Because we know that rhetoric is essential to democracy, we teach students how to think critically, to make sound arguments, and to work honestly and compassionately. Because we know how language works to oppress, we reject rhetoric that denigrates others and commit to counteracting and critiquing oppression to create a safer, more equitable, and more just college and world. Because we know that regular and individualized feedback leads to writing development, our classes are small with plenty of opportunities for students to work one-on-one with our award-winning faculty, and through our Writing Center we offer free writing consultations to all students, no matter where they are in the writing process.
