🌱 Research Snapshot

My book project uses political economy to examine how technology can create inequities in writing program administration. I explore how neoliberal values come to inhabit technology like a "ghost in the machine," which can cause, at best, frustration for equity-minded WPAs and, at worst, potentially harm students and teachers.

Summer 2024 Update:
