I am currently an Associate Professor of English at Auburn University Montgomery, where I teach undergraduate and graduate composition courses. Research interests include material and cultural rhetorics as they are experienced in pop culture and pedagogical settings.  My book Unplugging Popular Culture: Reconsidering Materiality, Analog Technology, and the Digital Native  was published by Routledge’s Research in Cultural and Media Studies and is available now.

I also research/write about professionalizing novice writing teachers and currently serve as Director for the Master of Teaching Writing degree. My website for students is separate and can be found here.
