About Me

My story as a teacher spans over two decades exploring and engaging language, writing, and the ecology of relationships that we as writers constitute through our different texts. My research, teaching, and service projects coalesce around questions of belonging and environmental citizenship within and across diverse spheres (linguistically, socially, spatially, and textually).  I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in the Rhetoric and Writing Program at the University of New Mexico, Department of English in sociolinguistics, community and environmental writing, civil rights rhetoric, and public discourses of citizenship.
