Hello! I am Director of Technical & Professional Communication and Assistant Chair for Core Writing at the University of New Mexico. As a researcher, I focus on usability/UX/UCD and TPC pedagogy. I also teach, conduct research, and publish in Indigenous Studies, particularly concerning early-20th-century Native activist writers’ rhetorically impactful bureaucratic writing, particularly in Bureau of Indian Affairs contexts. In recent years, I have received two grants to fund archival research for this project, from CCCC/NCTE and the American Philosophical Society; this book is provisionally titled "Reports of Agency: Retrieving Indigenous Professional Communication in Dawes Era Indian Bureau Documents.” My 2015 book The Pluralist Imagination from East to West in American Literature was published by University of Nebraska Press. I am Editor-in-Chief of Xchanges, a Writing Studies ejournal.
