Professor and Co-Director, Ott Memorial Writing Center

English

I'm a hyphenate writer-researcher-editor-educator and scholar of rhetoric, writing, and literacy. I'm also Chief Capacitator of the Writing Innovation Symposium or WIS, and I'm collaborating with Chef Gregory León on The Amilinda Cookbook. 

At Marquette, I directed First-Year English, and now I co-direct the Ott Memorial Writing Center. I'm also developing the Near West Side Living History Project in collaboration with Near West Side Partners, the Digital Archive of Literacy Narratives, and students who enroll in spring sections of ENGL 2001. 

My most recent scholarship includes three books: The Naylor Report on Undergraduate Research in Writing (Parlor Press 2020) with Dominic DelliCarpini and Jane Greer, Telling Stories: Perspectives on Longitudinal Research in Writing Studies (Utah State University Press 2023) with Amy C. Kimme Hea, and with Romeo Garcia and Lauren Rosenberg Community Listening: Hauntings, Stories, Possibilities (WAC Clearinghouse/UP of Colorado 2025), which received the Conference on Community Writing 2025 Book Award.
