Biography

My research interests are at the intersection of rhetoric, gender studies, and science and technology studies. I am currently developing a book project based on my doctoral research, which examined the ways medical imaging technologies are deployed in public arguments about the value of raced, gendered, disabled, and otherwise non-normate bodies.

My teaching interests include rhetorics of STEMM, multimodal writing and new media, writing pedagogy and cultural studies.

I hold a PhD in Rhetoric & Writing from the University of Texas, where I also served as Assistant Director of the Digital Writing & Research Lab, developing innovative practices for teaching writing with emerging technology. I previously earnt degrees in gender and cultural studies from the University of Texas (M.A) and the University of Sydney (B.A). I have also worked as a feature writer and editor on a variety of specialist publications in Australia and internationally. I joined UNE in 2017.
