The Rhetoric Diaries

Writing, Technology, Pedagogy, and the Politics of Belonging

PhD student in English · Rhetoric and Writing Studies · Wayne State University

start with the human question
Writing does more than communicate ideas. It teaches people what kinds of writers, students, and scholars they are allowed to become.

I study how generative AI, academic writing expectations, digital technologies, and institutional practices shape authorship, rhetorical judgment, linguistic identity, and belonging in higher education.

Selected work

What I make, who it serves, and what it helps people do

Four projects show how my research, teaching, professional communication, and public scholarship belong to one practice.
