Teaching

Read, Reason, Write: An argument text and reader, 13e by dorothy U. seyler and allen brizee

My teaching focuses on rhetorical theory, technology, empirical research, and civic engagement. In my classes, students learn how to respond to rhetorical situations and write in multiple genres.

My co-authored textbook Read, Reason, Write aligns with my teaching philosophy.

My research focuses on building reciprocal college-community partnerships. To foster these partnerships, I use empirical methods to develop, assess, and revise projects.

My co-authored scholarly book Partners in Literacy discusses my research.
