I’m Treasurer of the Coalition and a Professor of English, Education, and Women’s & Gender Studies at the University of Michigan. My scholarly interests include the feminist rhetorics, writing pedagogy, and digital rhetorics, and I am particularly interested in the experiences of non-elite populations of students, the voices of marginalized rhetors, and the means by which ordinary citizens use language to effect change. My book projects include Rhetoric at the Margins: Revising the History of Writing Instruction in American Colleges; the collection Rhetoric, History, and Women’s Oratorical Education: American Women Learn to Speak, coedited with Catherine Hobbs; Educating the New Southern Woman: Speech, Writing, and Race at the Public Women’s Colleges, with Catherine Hobbs; and the collection Women at Work: Rhetorics of Gender and Labor, coedited with Jessica Enoch. I am currently studying Black women’s rhetorical activism in the age of Jim Crow.
