"Is this text multimodal?" (2018).

​I'm a doctoral candidate at Michigan State's Writing, Rhetoric, and American Cultures program. My concentration area is Critical Feminist Theory and my disseration explores ambiguity in rhetorical theory and pedagogy. I also research digital rhetoric and pedagogy, considering the applications of Instagram in the classroom as an introduction to digital rhetoric, composition, and activism. In addition to my work in theory and pedagogy, I advocate for the experiences of survivors in the university, focusing on how WPAs might leverage their positions to impact students' experiences with the Mandatory Reporter policy through trauma-informed/care-based training for faculty.
