Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy is informed by Ecocomposition, a post-process theory of writing that examines the relationships between discourse and the various environments (both physical and semantic) within which language and rhetoric flourish. I find this theory useful because it highlights several important pedagogical values that I work to enact within my own writing courses: 1) rhetorical awareness, 2) open dialogue, 3) writing takes place (beyond the classroom).
