Biography
Current Interests
Generally, discussions on how students can compose ethically and responsibly across varied contexts interest me.
I usually ask questions about how students can increase their rhetorical consciousness and enhance their rhetorical effectiveness. In another related fashion, I am also intrigued about how students draw on their genre knowledge for reflective practice on the relationships and connections between various academic and professional genres, and how such relationships can act as discursive resources that can improve students' criticality. Lately, with the advent of AI, I have also become interested in the AI conversations surrounding composition.
I aim to refine and finetune these interests further during my academic journey as a Predoctoral Instructor and a Graduate Student here at UW.
