Her articles, essays, and reviews have appeared in collections as well as?Fourth Genre, Essay Daily,?and?Public Books.?Her recent book,?Crafting Presence: The American Essay and the Future of Writing Studies?(Utah State University Press, 2017),?offers theoretical and pedagogical arguments for how an essay-based pedagogy in high school and college can enact the goals of a liberal education more effectively and ethically than “college and career readiness” paradigms.
