I’m a Professor of English and Endowed Chair of Rhetoric and Composition at the University of Louisville where I write and teach about issues of literacy, identity, sustainability, digital media, popular culture, and community writing. My recurring research interests have been the intersections of the the writing and reading people engage in through their daily lives and the literacy practices they encounter in schools and universities.
My new book is Literacies in Times of Disruption: Living and Learning During a Pandemic (Routledge Press). The book traces the voices of a diverse group of university students, from first-year to doctoral students, over the first two years of the pandemic. They discussed the effects of having their homes need to serve as classrooms, work, and living spaces as they navigated much of school and life through their digital screens. The affective and embodied experiences of this disruption and uncertainty, and the memories and narratives constructed from those experiences, challenged and remade students’ relationships with place, digital media, and school itself.
