“One of the things I love about being part of the faculty at UCF’s writing and rhetoric program is the opportunity to teach courses and serve in committees that are related to my research interests. When I joined the program, I thought it was like many other programs in the country that pay lip service to valuing language diversity only at the theoretical but not on practical level. I was pleasantly surprised by not only being asked to teach courses related to language diversity, but to also see faculty and graduate students working actively and collaboratively to consider how this scholarship can inform our curriculum.”
